Mechanical Suspensions - Single & Double
Supporting spans of Optical Ground Wire cable through a wide range
of line angle changes, the unique design of the lightweight AFL
Mechanical Suspension installs easily while supporting vertical,
transverse, longitudinal unbalanced loads and angle pulls without
damaging the cable strands or affecting optical fiber performance.
Breakaway bolts ensure proper installation torque while eliminating
the need for specialized torque wrenches. The assemblies are designed
for fast installation to minimize costs.
Features:
• Slip strengths: > 3,000 lbs. (depending on cable design)
• Vertical load rating: 15,000 lbs.
• Compact design (Single Suspension = 34” in length, Double
Suspension = 48” in length)
• Meets IEEE 1138 Vibration and Galloping tests
• Ideal for helicopter installation
• Unique keeper design allows installation without removing bolts
(fewer loose parts)
• Drilled and tapped for grounding lug, eliminating additional
accessories for electrical bonding
• Shorter than formed wire suspensions, allowing installation from
the support structure
