Stop Cable Theft. Cold.
Stop Replacing Cables. Start Protecting Them.
Charging cable theft doesn't announce itself. One day the cable is there, the next it isn't and suddenly a charger that was generating revenue is generating service tickets instead. At sites we've seen in the field, cables were being stolen within 48 hours of installation. Not once. Repeatedly.
CatStrap's EV Cable Shield™ was built for exactly that problem. It's the only field-proven, retrofittable cable armor on the market that’s been deployed on 3,000+ charging stations across the U.S. and Europe.
Cables protected by CatStrap's EV Cable Shield™ have remained intact. No recurring theft patterns and a near-unanimous success rate in the field.
A leading innovator in anti-theft technology.
What makes CatStrap worth trusting isn't just the product? It's the expertise behind it. CatStrap spent over a decade solving one of the most persistent theft problems in automotive history: catalytic converter theft. More than 100,000 vehicles protected. A 99.75% success rate.
When EV charging operators started facing the same pattern, valuable components, vulnerable to theft, expensive to replace, CatStrap applied everything they'd learned to a new problem.
The EV Cable Shield™ is what that experience looks like in practice. And the field results say, it translated pretty well.

Keep Chargers Online. Keep Drivers Happy.
EV charger cable theft is surging across the U.S. and it doesn’t take much. In minutes, a single cut can knock a station offline, triggering costly repairs, lost revenue, and drivers pulling up to chargers that simply don’t work. As EV adoption accelerates, uptime isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s everything.
CatStrap’s EV Cable Shield™ effectively flips the script. Its hardened steel armor turns a quick grab into a frustrating, time-consuming job most thieves won’t even attempt. And the results speak for themselves: ~99% effectiveness across tens of thousands of real-world installations.
That means fewer thefts, fewer headaches, and more chargers doing exactly what they’re supposed to—keeping drivers moving, reliably.
When it comes to protecting EV charging infrastructure, prevention beats repair—every time. DyeDefender™ takes a bold, highly visible approach to theft deterrence, combining rugged construction with a smart, unmistakable warning: this cable fights back.
At the core of DyeDefender™ is a pressurized blue dye system housed inside an automotive-grade stainless steel hose. If tampered with, the system releases a vivid, hard-to-remove dye—instantly marking would-be thieves and rendering the stolen cable far less valuable. It’s not just protection—it’s accountability.
But here’s the real power: most theft attempts never happen in the first place. A high-visibility yellow warning tag signals risk upfront, and with thousands of units deployed, DyeDefender™ has recorded zero reported theft attempts. That’s not just a feature—it’s peace of mind.
Designed with a universal fit for EV charging cables and proudly made in the USA, DyeDefender™ is built to integrate seamlessly into your infrastructure while standing up to real-world conditions.
Because the best way to deal with theft… is to stop it cold.
