Aerial cable installation has been the go-to option for most network providers and utility companies wherein overhead cables are laid out. The key benefit of this type of cable installation is easy to access for repairs and maintenance purposes. However, in order to ensure an effective, reliable, and safe operations, various aerial equipment is utilized. They come in numerous items depending on specific cable applications. Some of the most commonly aerial equipment include the overhead sheaves, pullers, pole brackets, cable benders, and cable blocks.
Cable grip pullers are needed to hold cables safely and properly in place while overhead sheaves are specially designed to handle different conductor dimensions with various specifications. The cable benders, on the other hand, are particularly intended to deliver mechanical wrenching action to make loops enlargements that can last for as long as 25 years. They help ensure reduced stress and consistency while preventing any additional hand formation efforts from cable installers. Another important aerial equipment is the pole bracket. It offers structural integrity by serving as the base for sheaves and other parts needed to be attached. Pole brackets come in an easy to set up ratcheting strap and pole fit.
Lastly, cable blocks are used to provide stability during the entire overhead installation and help prevent accidents, reduce maintenance requirements, but increase service life. It can be made from molded plastic, durable cast aluminum, or steel and is available in different types. These include a single roller cable block that supports single coaxial, copper cable, and fiber optic and has a built-in strand lock to avoid slow locomotion mode. Another type is the pole mount cable blocks that support fiber-optic or small-sized copper strands. It can be mounted on a three-bolt clamp. Other options for this aerial equipment are the over lash and economy blocks.
