PLP UNI-GROUP protection bracket 710012118 (Millennium Part #548707) is a cable storage system component that shields stored fiber optic cable slack at aerial pole and midspan positions. Storage loops are vulnerable to abrasion, gunfire, wildlife and hardware contact, and the bracket keeps coiled cable off sharp edges while maintaining the minimum bend radius the cable manufacturer specifies. Preserving slack at splice points and future tap locations is what allows a closure to be lowered to the ground for re-entry without cutting fiber. Specify this bracket on ADSS and figure-8 aerial routes where planned storage is part of the design.
