AFLglobal.com | 800.235.3423 continued Mechanical Suspensions— Single and 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 • Compact design: - Single Suspension = 34" in length - Double Suspension = 48" in length • Ideal for helicopter installation • Unique keeper design allows installation without removing bolts (fewer loose parts) • Grounding lug included, eliminating additional accessories for electri - cal bonding • Shorter than formed wire suspensions, allowing installation from the support structure • Standard assembly includes suspension unit and rods Single Suspension Double Suspension shown with optional Yoke Plate and Clevis Eyes Qualifications GOVERNING BODY STANDARD CODE TESTS IEEE 1138 Vibration Galloping © 2008, AFL, all rights reserved.
