The Yellow Jacket AMS (Advanced Modular System) is the first cable protector system designed to grow with a user's needs. Now a user can "build" a cable protector system on-site to: Accommodate additional cable runs, Add ADA compliant handicapped access, Tailor it for restricted floor space, Interface with a broad range of existing cable protector systems, Handle almost any traffic, from foot traffic to high speed, heavy vehicular traffic.

First Superfloor

The Most Stable Cable Protector System

When you connect parallel Yellow Jacket AMS cable protectors together you form a Superfloor, a truly stable, flat surface. A Superfloor has absolutely no gaps between the parallel connectors due its unique design and use of Hipersnap locking device technology. The resulting Superfloor will stay connected under very demanding usage and greatly reduces any chance of trip hazards.

Holds Unlimited Number of Cables

Yellow Jacket AMS systems are designed for expansion. Protect an additional 5, 50 or more cables, lines or by simply adding more center sections. Each additional center section has five channels.

Expandable ADA Compliant Ramps

Yellow Jacket AMS ADA Compliant special access ramps provide unmatched stability and expandability. Several ramps may be combined to form an extra wide ramp for easier access. These ramps provide excellent access for forklifts and other small vehicles. Ramps are attached with proprietary HiperSnap locking device - forming an extremely solid connection. The ramps will not separate, dislocate or "peel up" under repeated use reducing trip and fall hazards.

Easy to Install -- Easy to Load

Yellow Jacket AMS is extremely easy to assemble with its proprietary HiperSnapT locking devices and Hour Glass connectors and easy to load with its hinged lid.

Space Efficient

Yellow Jacket AMS protectors are the most space efficient cable protector systems in use, transit or storage. The center section's straight edges reduce the space needed for multiple parallel cable runs and allow a user to fit one side flush to a wall saving space and eliminating a potential trip hazard. All ramps can be detached from the center section when not in use taking up less space in transit and in storage.

Compatible with Other Cable Protectors

Yellow Jacket AMS with its Universal connector is compatible with the broadest range of cable protectors in the industry, protecting a user's investments in existing cable protector systems.

Built with Yellow Jacket Strength

The Yellow Jacket AMS is built with the strength of the well known Yellow Jacket. Yellow Jacket's superior performance is due to its combination of long lasting Durathane polyurethane, extra strong leading 2" leading edges with Roman Arch construction and thick 3/8" thick lid. Yellow Jacket AMS is the premier solution for protecting valuable cables and connectors, meeting ADA and other regulatory requirements and reducing trip and fall hazards.

Rounded dividers to protect cables from snags or tears

Hinged lid for easy loading

Engineered dog-bone safety release connector that will give before breaking under pressure
