Flexible Mesh Sock Cable Grip for ADSS & OPGW Pulling

Flexible Mesh Sock Cable Grip: Gentle Yet Secure Pulling for ADSS & OPGW Cables

At Ningbo Changshi Electric Power Machinery Manufacturing Limited, we understand the critical importance of protecting the delicate outer jackets and internal fibers of ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) and OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) cables during overhead stringing operations. Traditional pulling methods or ill-suited grips can easily abrade, deform, or even crush these sensitive fiber optic cables, leading to costly damage and signal degradation. Our Flexible Mesh Sock Cable Grip for ADSS & OPGW Pulling is a specialized tool meticulously engineered for "ADSS and OPGW construction," providing a gentle yet firm, full-circumference grip. This "Cable mesh sock grip" ensures that tension is evenly distributed along a significant length of the cable, preventing point loading and safeguarding the cable's integrity during pulling. As a prominent China manufacturer and exporter specializing in comprehensive one-stop supply for both overhead transmission line (OHTL) wire cable conductor tension stringing equipment and underground cable laying equipment, this specialized mesh sock grip exemplifies our unwavering commitment to providing innovative, durable, and highly effective tools that ensure the long-term reliability of your crucial fiber optic and power transmission infrastructure.

The Flexible Mesh Sock Cable Grip is constructed from high-strength galvanized steel wire or stainless steel, woven into a flexible, elongated mesh tube. When pulling force is applied, the mesh tightens radially around the cable, providing a secure, non-slip hold that minimizes stress concentrations. This design is particularly advantageous for ADSS and OPGW cables due to their smooth, often delicate, polymer outer jackets. The long gripping length of the mesh sock distributes the pulling force over a larger surface area, reducing the risk of damage, kinking, or slippage. Each grip is available in various sizes to precisely match the outside diameter of the ADSS or OPGW cable, ensuring an optimal fit. Equipped with a sturdy eye or clevis for attachment to a Swivel and pulling line, our mesh sock grips are an indispensable component in any fiber optic overhead stringing project, ensuring smooth, damage-free, and efficient cable installation from start to finish.

Product Features & Benefits:

• Non-Damaging, Full-Circumference Grip: Flexible woven mesh distributes pulling force evenly around the entire cable diameter, preventing point loading, crushing, kinking, or abrasion to sensitive ADSS and OPGW jackets.

• Optimal for Fiber Optic Cables: Specifically designed to provide a secure yet gentle hold on the smooth, delicate surfaces of All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) and Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) cables.

• Secure & Non-Slip Performance: The self-tightening action of the mesh ensures a reliable grip that increases with tension, preventing slippage during heavy pulling operations.

• High Strength Construction: Manufactured from high-tensile galvanized steel wire or corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring exceptional durability and load-bearing capacity.

• Versatile Sizing: Available in a wide range of sizes to precisely match various ADSS and OPGW cable diameters, ensuring optimal fit and performance.

• Easy to Apply & Remove: Flexible design allows for quick and straightforward installation and removal from the cable ends.

• Integral Swivel Eye (often recommended/included): Many grips come with an integrated swivel eye that connects directly to the pulling line, preventing cable twisting during installation.

• Reduces Cable Replacement Costs: By preventing damage during installation, these grips significantly minimize the need for expensive cable repairs, splicing, or complete replacement.

• Enhances Safety & Efficiency: Contributes to a smoother pulling operation, reducing the risk of snags or sudden releases, and improving overall project efficiency.

Product Applications:

Our Flexible Mesh Sock Cable Grip is an indispensable tool for the safe and efficient handling of ADSS and OPGW fiber optic cables in various overhead construction scenarios:

• ADSS cable stringing: The primary tool for pulling All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) cables during new installations or upgrades on power and communication lines.

• OPGW Installation: Essential for the tensioned pulling of Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) alongside or in place of traditional earthwires on transmission towers.

• Pilot Line Attachment: Can be used to securely pull the initial pilot line for subsequent conductor or cable stringing operations.

• Cable Feeds & Guide Systems: Used in conjunction with pulling equipment, OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks, and cable guides to ensure smooth cable travel.

• Conduit Pulling (Large Diameter): Applicable for pulling large diameter communication or power cables through conduits where a distributed grip is beneficial.

• Any Application Requiring Non-Damaging Pulling: Wherever sensitive or smooth-jacketed cables need to be pulled without risk of surface damage or internal fiber harm.

Technical Data Sheet (Example Specifications - please refer to specific model for exact data):

Note: It is absolutely critical to select the correct size of mesh sock grip that precisely matches the outer diameter of the ADSS or OPGW cable being pulled. Using an oversized grip will lead to slippage, while an undersized grip can damage the cable. Always verify the grip's Rated Breaking Load (RBL) against the maximum expected pulling force and adhere to the recommended Safe Working Load (SWL). Regularly inspect grips for wear or damage before each use. Please contact us for detailed datasheets for specific models and their exact specifications, compatible cable diameters, and load capacities.
