PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The unique design of the lightweight AFL Mechanical Suspension supports spans of optical ground wire (OPGW) cable through a wide range of line angle changes. AFL’s 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.
