Las Vegas — September 19, 2025 — Affordable Wire Management (AWM), a leading provider of utility-scale PV Cable Management Systems (CMS) and wire management solutions for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), today announced the launch of the company’s Gen 5 Arden Hanger. Building on the success of the previous versions, the Gen 5 Arden Hanger offers a reengineered design that improves strength by 20%, reduces material by 10%, and significantly lessens Operation & Maintenance (O&M) costs associated with typical plastic hangers.
Arden has been designed from the beginning for efficient installation, which reduces field labor time and lowers overall BOS (Balance of System) costs. As with AWM’s other product lines, the Gen 5 Arden Hanger is manufactured with durable metal alloys, boasting optimal corrosion resistance and a 90+ year lifespan.
Gen 5 Arden Hanger benefits include:
- Optimized arrangement for maximum cable ampacity
- Refined retention features for extremely secure cable support
- 20% improvement in strength-to-weight ratio
- Designed with a large radius at every cable contact surface
“The Arden Hanger is the cornerstone of our CMS, and with the Gen 5 Arden Hanger, we’ve raised the bar once again,” said Scott Rand, CEO and Co-founder of AWM. “It integrates design enhancements from customer feedback, improves strength and optimizes ampacity. This new release underscores AWM’s continuous innovation cycle—refining core products that have become industry standards, while extending lifespan and performance to meet the requirements of modern utility-scale PV power plants.”
The Arden Hanger is AWM’s most widely deployed solution, now installed across tens of gigawatts of projects.
