Why Choose the Lovato GMXCL72 Flexible Operating Cable?
The Lovato GMXCL72 is a 72 in flexible operating cable designed for compatible Lovato GM fused switch disconnector operating systems. It provides the mechanical link between the enclosure-mounted operating handle and the switch operating mechanism, allowing the disconnect device to be operated remotely.
With a nominal length of 72 in, equivalent to approximately 1829 mm or 1.83 m, the GMXCL72 provides generous reach for larger industrial enclosures. Its flexible design gives panel builders greater freedom when positioning the disconnect switch relative to the external operating handle.
The GMXCL72 forms part of the coordinated Lovato GM cable-operated disconnect system and is intended to be combined with the appropriate compatible flange handle, operating mechanism and fused switch disconnector. It is a mechanical operating accessory rather than an electrical cable.
Key Advantages
Purpose-designed flexible operating cable for Lovato GM disconnect systems.
Long 72 in nominal length for flexible enclosure layouts.
Equivalent to approximately 1829 mm / 1.83 m.
Allows remote mechanical operation of compatible fused switch disconnectors.
Provides greater positioning flexibility than a rigid straight-shaft arrangement.
Genuine Lovato accessory for coordinated industrial disconnect assemblies.
Key Features
Lovato GMXCL flexible cable series.
72 in flexible operating cable.
Approximate metric length of 1829 mm.
Designed for cable-operated fused switch disconnect systems.
Transfers mechanical operating movement between compatible components.
Suitable for industrial control-panel and switchboard installations.
Supports flexible placement of the disconnect switch inside an enclosure.
Used with the appropriate Lovato GM operating mechanism and flange handle.
Flexible Remote Switch Operation
A flexible operating cable allows the external handle and disconnect switch to be positioned according to the available enclosure space rather than requiring a direct straight-line shaft connection. The Lovato GMXCL72 provides a substantial 72 in mechanical operating length for applications where increased separation between these components is required.
When combined with the appropriate Lovato handle and operating mechanism, the cable transfers the operator's movement to the fused switch disconnector. This makes the GMXCL72 particularly useful for industrial control panels, machinery enclosures and switchboards with complex internal layouts.
Typical Applications
Lovato GM fused switch disconnector assemblies.
Cable-operated industrial disconnect systems.
Large industrial control panels.
Machinery main isolation systems.
Power distribution switchboards.
Electrical enclosures requiring flexible positioning between the operating handle and disconnect switch.

Remote mechanical operation of compatible switch disconnectors
The GMXCL72 is a flexible mechanical operating cable used between compatible components in a Lovato GM cable-operated fused switch disconnector system.
How long is the GMXCL72 cable?
The GMXCL72 has a nominal length of 72 in, equivalent to approximately 1829 mm or 1.83 m.
Why use the 72 in flexible cable?
The 72 in length provides increased reach where the switch disconnector must be positioned farther from the enclosure-mounted operating handle or where the internal panel layout prevents a direct rigid-shaft connection.
Is the GMXCL72 a complete operating system?
No. The GMXCL72 is the flexible cable component and must be combined with the appropriate compatible Lovato operating handle, mechanism and fused switch disconnector.
Does the GMXCL72 carry electrical power or control signals?
No. The GMXCL72 is a mechanical operating cable designed to transmit movement between switch-operating components rather than carry electrical power or signals.
