CAB™ Cable Rings
Provide maximum strength and safety for
the support of aerial cables in power utility,
telecommunication and industrial applications. Manufactured from galvanized
steel, copper clad steel, bronze or Type
316 stainless steel to withstand corrosive
environments. For more protection, any
style of ring can be insulated with a coating of high
dielectric grade PVC Plastisol.
• Standard: Designed for suspending single cables.
• Long: Extra length allows a second cable to be
suspended under the standard style ring from the
same messenger strand.
• Medium: For single or multiple cables - available by
special order.
CAB Saddles
Economical cable blocks for support of one or two cables
or innerduct up to 1-1/4" outside diameter. Use on
strand up to 5/16" diameter. Integrated cable retaining
system with spring-loaded arm. Frames are durable
cast aluminum with steel inserts on strand contact
surfaces. Rollers are plastic or steel. Replacement

Improves safety by providing a wider load bearing
area in the carrier section of the cable ring. This extra
support and protection is especially important when
running heavy cables or multiple cables. Saddles are
strong, lightweight and have an integral locking system
to the cable ring. Completely assembled ring and saddle
units are available for added convenience and faster
installation time. Can be PVC coated.
PVC Coated Cab Cable Rings
Ring is completely coated with PVC Plastisol making
it totally insulated and spark-proof. Slippage and
movement of cable rings after installation is virtually
eliminated due to molding action of the PVC coating
to the messenger strands. Provides extra protection in
highly corrosive environments.
Standard Galvanized Cable Rings
Used for short cable runs, like mid-span traffic signal
installation. The inside diameter of the ring/loop
permits additional cables to be pulled thru on future
installation modifications. No tools needed. When
ordering, specify messenger strand size being used.

Trac Aerial Closure
The TRAC system from Tyco is a torchless closure for free-breathing aerial
applications. The closure consists of three main components: a central body and
two end pieces. After splice preparation and bonding, two closure end pieces are
placed over the cable. The central body is then closed over the end pieces and
the splice to provide a secure cover. The body is locked in place by bolts along its
bottom (metal latches are available). From Tyco Electronics.

FIBERLIGN® Lite Tension Dead-ends
from Preformed Line Products
A dielectric dead-end designed to terminate short span, low tension ADSS fiber optic cables in low-voltage environments. Unlike
the Limited, Medium and High Tension FIBERLIGN Dielectric
Dead-End designs found later in this section, the Lite Tension
Dead-End is reduced to a single layer component that offers an
economical solution for very light loads. The product effectively
transfers the low axial load on the cable at the end of the dead-end legs to allow uniform radial compression near
the dead-end loop.
The small diameter wires that comprise each dead-end are a mixture of aluminum and aluminum-clad steel to
assure long-term performance.

ADSS Drop Cable Hardware
FIBERLIGN® for ADSS Drop Cable Hardware from Preformed Line Products
All ADSS cables designed for the last mile are relatively small and have very low load requirements for pole-topole distribution and pole-to-pole service drops. Distribution span lengths are typically less than 30' and service
drops are typically less than 150'. ADSS type drop cables are supported with non-metallic strength members and
protected by an outer plastic sheath.
FIBERLIGN® ADSS Drop Cable Dead-end
Secures the soft, pliable surface of a drop cable without causing attenuation. Unlike wedge type dead-ends, the
formed wire dead-end effectively transfer the axial load on the cable at the end of the dead-end legs to a low
uniform radial compression near the dead-end loop.
Due to the variety of cable designs from various manufacturers, the holding capabilities of drop cable dead-ends
will vary as well. The following characteristics are presented for a general overview of the typical requirements
for a drop cable application:
• Distribution Max Span Length: Approx. 300'
• Service Drop Max Span Length: Approx. 200'
• Installation Load: Approx. 70–100 lbs.
• Loaded Tension: Approx. 200–500 lbs.
Contact the cable manufacturer for specific cable capabilities to determine proper sag and tension levels for your
system.
The loop of the dead-end will fill over a minimum diameter of 1" and a maximum diameter of 1-5/8". It is designed
to fit over common guy wire dead-end pole fittings. Thimbles can be used for fittings that may cause high stress in
the loop of the dead-end. PLP peers a 1/2" standard thimble (Item No. 00065474). Optimal fittings provide proper
loop support without a thimble.
FIBERLIGN® ADSS Midspan Drop
If direct attachment from the pole to the premise is obstructed or
restricted for clearance reasons, it may be beneficial to re-direct
cable drops from mid-span. The FIBERLIGN ADSS midspan drop
(FAMD) can be applied anywhere along the backbone cable, which
must be strong enough to endure the system side-load requirements.
The FAMD can be loaded to 500 lbs. maximum perpendicular load.

Figure-8 Drop Cable Dead-end
The FIBERLIGN Fiture-8 drop cable dead-end has high strength in a
lightweight package. Simple to install, the dead-end is applied on the messenger component of the Figure-8 cable after separating the fiber component at the web. The loop of the dead-end will fit over a minimum diameter
of 1" and a maximum diameter of 1-5/8". The dead-end is designed to fit
over common guy wire dead-end pole fittings. Thimbles can be used for
fittings that may cause high stress in the loop of the dead-end. PLP offers a
1/2" standard thimble (Item No. 00065474). Optimal fittings provide proper
loop support without a thimble.
