EV Charger Cable Management for Charging Stations
Maintenance-free EV charger retractable systems for the safe guidance of AC and DC charging cables
Whether for private EV charging points, public stations, or large-scale depots, a well-organised charging infrastructure is essential to the success of e-mobility.
Our advanced EV charger cable management systems bring greater order, safety, and reliability to every charging environment. Space-saving and maintenance-free, our retraction solutions ensure smooth and secure guidance of AC and DC charging cables while protecting them from weather exposure, crushing, impacts, vandalism, and theft.
By eliminating loose cables, our systems also reduce trip hazards, creating a safer, more user-friendly charging experience for everyone.

Retractable cable mangement e-tract DC
The cable retraction system for DC charging stations keeps the area neat while providing reliable protection for the charging cables. Cables are safely retracted into the unit, preventing them from being driven over or trapped between vehicle tyres and the kerb.
- Resistant to dirt and harsh weather conditions
- Protected against theft and designed to resist vandalism
- No cable reeling required - eliminating heat build-up
- Low retraction force for easy, user-friendly operation
- Cable bend radius: 211mm
- Anti-theft device
- 3,000mm extension length (plus up to 2,500mm cable loop)
- Extension direction: left or right
- H/W/D: 2,000 x 520 x 190 mm
- DIN SPEC 91504 barrier-free charging infrastructure
Retractable cable mangement e-tract DC horizontal
The automated overhead cable guidance system for high-performance DC and MCS charging cables ensures space-saving, protected energy transmission in demanding depot and charging infrastructures.
- Overhead, no floor contact: maximises manoeuvring space and optimises parking capacity
- Safe multi-vehicle charging bays: clearly structured layout for smooth, efficient operations
- Higher occupational safety: no tripping hazards and keeps cables out of driving areas
- Longer service life: reduced wear and no risk of cable theft
e-tract 3.1
The integrated cable management system for AC charging points automatically retracts and protects the charging cable. Predefined mounting holes enable quick and easy integration into housings and charging stations.
- Cable bend radius: 155mm
- Anti-theft device
- 4,500mm extension length (plus up to 2,000mm cable loop)
- Extension direction: left or right
- H/W/D: 1,140 x 350 x 150
- DIN SPEC 91504 barrier-free charging infrastructure
e-tract AC horizontal
Tight parking spaces and narrow bay layouts demand smart solutions. The electrically driven cable management system for AC charging points, mounted on the ceiling or a supporting frame, is ideal for high-density environments where every centimetre counts.
- Optimised space per charging point: no charging columns and no loose cables on the ground
- Enhanced mechanical protection: the cable is only accessible during active charging
- Increased security: protected against theft, vandalism and accidental damage from vehicles
Concept: e-spool flex light AC
The e-spool flex light is a compact cable management system designed to neatly wind AC charging cables without twisting. It uses a central guide to ensure organised retraction and operates without a slip ring, enabling uninterrupted power transmission.
- Suitable for a charging capacity of 11kW
- 5m extension length

Frequent asked questions regarding EV charger cable management
Using an igus® e‑tract cable management system helps protect EV charging cables by keeping them guided, enclosed, and fixed in position. By preventing loose or unattended cables, e‑tract reduces the risk of theft and vandalism, ideal for public, workplace, and semi‑public charging locations.
The igus® e‑tract system extends the usable reach of the charging cable by guiding it smoothly from the charger to the vehicle. This allows drivers to comfortably access the cable without strain, while excess cable is safely retracted and stored when not in use, no dragging, tangling, or trip hazards.
Yes, EV charging connectors typically lock into the vehicle during charging, preventing removal until the session ends or the vehicle is unlocked.
The igus® e‑tract system complements this by mechanically guiding and supporting the cable, keeping it in a defined movement path. While e‑tract does not provide an electronic lock itself, it ensures the cable stays securely positioned, strain‑relieved, and protected throughout every charging cycle.
The e‑tract retracts most of the cable back into the unit, rather than leaving it visible. This is achieved through a mechanical retraction system for the e‑tract AC and DC, and a motorised retraction system for the e‑tract AC and DC horizontal versions.
