E4-1L for light and cost-effective cable management

General purpose e-chain® for high dynamics. The E4-1 light series have been developed to combine the advantages of the E2/000 and E4-1 in one series. The strength and stability of the E4-1 system on the one hand and the easy accessibility of the E2/000 system on the other. The strength and the price of E4-1L lies between these systems and is thus a perfect alternative for you if the strength of E2/000 is insufficient and an E4-1 is over-sized.
