Engineered for optimal performance in demanding aerial applications, this drop-wire dead-end from Preformed Line Products offers a progressive solution for securing ADSS cables ranging in diameter from 0.351 to 0.360 inches. The innovative formed wire design facilitates a gentle grip on the drop cable, avoiding signal attenuation typically associated with more aggressive fastening methods. By transferring axial loads to generate low, uniform radial compression near the loop, it ensures a reliable hold while minimizing pressure on both the cable and messenger. Made from durable, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy with a latex coating, this dead-end is suitable for a variety of installation scenarios, with a loaded tension range accommodating between 250 to 500 pounds, making it a robust choice for aerial hardware applications.
