HAAS Post Protectors serve both a functional and aesthetic purpose in cable railing systems. Post protectors aesthetically offer a cleaner, more finished look to the posts in a cable railing system, as opposed to having a bare drilled hole in the posts. Functionally, post protectors are designed to be inserted into the holes in a post to help protect the hole in the post from abrasion from the cables that are passing through the post.

A Post Protector is a finishing component used in cable railing systems to protect the drilled holes in posts from abrasion caused by cables passing through. It also enhances the visual appeal of the railing by offering a clean, finished look to the posts, rather than leaving bare, unprotected holes. HAAS Post Protectors are commonly used in both indoor and outdoor applications, and they are compatible with 1/8” and 3/16” cables.
Post Protectors are essential for maintaining the integrity of your posts over time, particularly in wood or composite materials. By preventing abrasion, they help extend the lifespan of your cable railing system.

HAAS offers several types of Post Protectors to accommodate various cable runs:
- Straight Post Protectors: Used for straight cable runs, ensuring a clean finish on intermediate posts where the cable runs parallel to the ground.
- Transition Post Protectors: Designed for posts where the cable run transitions from a straight line to an angle, typically used on corners or turns in the railing.
- Angled Post Protectors: Used for stairways or ramps where cables run at a specific angle, such as 30, 33, or 37 degrees.

These protectors ensure that the cable doesn’t wear down the post over time, keeping your railing system durable and aesthetically pleasing.
