A Swivel is an essential accessory in cable pulling installations. It acts as a crucial link between the pulling rope and the cable grip, preventing torsion. Without a Swivel, the pulling force can cause the rope to twist, which then transfers to the cable. This twisting can severely damage the internal conductors and external sheath of the cable, leading to premature failure. Using a high-quality swivel ensures the cable is pulled straight and without any damaging rotational forces.
