What is the difference between a solid slider cable and a twister cable?

The Solid Slider and Twister cables from the Artiteq brand are two suspension systems designed for picture rails, but they differ in their insertion mechanism, flexibility of use, and installation process. Here is a detailed comparison to help you choose the one that best suits your needs:


? Solid Slider

  • Insertion Mechanism: The cable is inserted into the rail from one end and then slid to the desired location.

  • Installation: Requires moving other cables if you want to add or remove them, as the whole set needs to be adjusted.

  • Compatibility: Compatible with all Artiteq rails, except for the Classic and Classic+ models.

  • Aesthetics: Offers steel or transparent 2mm perlon cables, providing discreet suspension.

  • Weight Capacity: Up to 20 kg.

  • Main Advantage: Economical solution for simple installation.

  • Disadvantage: Less flexible for frequent adjustments.


? Twister

  • Insertion Mechanism: The cable can be inserted anywhere along the rail using a quarter-turn rotating hook.

  • Installation: Allows easy manipulation, even from a distance (up to 20 cm), without disturbing other cables.

  • Compatibility: Compatible with all Artiteq rails, except for the Classic and Classic+ models.

  • Aesthetics: 2mm steel cable, offering strong and reliable suspension.

  • Weight Capacity: Up to 20 kg.

  • Main Advantage: Maximum flexibility for quick and frequent adjustments.

  • Disadvantage: Slightly higher cost compared to the Solid Slider.
