Why is proper cable pulling tension so important?

2025-08-10

Ensuring the correct pulling tension is essential for several reasons:

  • Cable Integrity and Longevity: Exceeding the maximum allowable tension can cause stretching, insulation damage, or conductor breakage, which can lead to premature cable failure.

  • Installer Safety: High tension can lead to equipment failure or unexpected movement, creating a hazardous environment for workers.

  • Equipment Protection: Overloading pulling equipment, such as winches and grips, can cause them to fail. Using tools from a reputable manufacturer like Ningbo Changshi, which are designed to handle specified loads, is crucial.

  • Compliance with Standards: Many industry standards and regulations specify maximum pulling tensions and sidewall pressures to ensure safe and reliable installations.
