What are the different types of cable pulling socks, and what are their applications?

2025-08-14

At Ningbo Changshi, we manufacture various types of cable pulling socks to meet diverse project needs. The main types include:

  • Single-Eye Cable Socks: The most common type, with a single loop at one end for attaching to the pulling line. They are used for standard, high-strength pulls.

  • Double-Eye Cable Socks: These grips have a loop at each end, allowing them to be slid down the cable and used for either pulling or supporting.

  • Lace-Up Cable Socks: This open-ended design can be wrapped around a cable at any point along its length and secured with lacing, making it ideal for mid-span applications or for attaching to an existing cable.

  • Non-Metallic Cable Socks: Made from materials like Aramid, these are specifically designed for environments where conductivity is a concern, such as near live electrical lines.

The choice of sock depends on the specific cable size, pulling tension, and application, such as overhead transmission line stringing or underground cable laying.
