Product Information
The BSP M50/P1 Passive Cable Barrier is a crash-rated anti-ram fence system primarily deployed by the U.S. Department of Defense, FBI, NSA, nuclear facilities, and data centers.

Engineered with security, cost-efficiency, and ease of installation in mind, BSP’s cable barrier easily integrates with a wide range of existing fence systems.
