CableSmart - How to Install

Installation Instructions

Step 1:

Install eye nut (or equivalent) on the end post piles to stop vertical movement of the messenger wire.

Step 2:

Fix messenger brackets as intermediate supports for the catenary wire. (Recommendation max. 10 m I 30 ft.)

Step 3:

Insert Dynamic tensioner onto the end of the wire spool (around 1-1.2 m I 3-4 ft from the end) and feed through the protective sleeve.

Step 4:

Loop around the first end post pile and through the eye nut or pile fixing point.

Step 5:

Insert wire back through the Dynamic tensioner to create a secure loop.

Step 6:

Drop wire into messenger brackets and loosely screw down grubscrew, working down the line.

Step 7:

Repeat steps 3-5 at the second end post pile to create a catenary with two loops.

Step 8:

Use the Gripple tensioning tool to apply tension to the wire. Only engage with the ends of the wire to pull tension through the catenary.

Step 9:

When the required tension is reached, screw down hex grubscrews on all intermediate supports.

Step 10:

For single cavity hangers open the gate and side load hanger onto wire. 

Step 11:

For double cavity hangers slot onto the wire between the two cavities.

Step 12:

Place hanger at correct distance and press down on to the wire until you hear an audible click.

Step 13:

Repeat the process down the line keeping the required space as specified.

Step 14:

Open the gate and side load cables onto the hangers.

Step 15:

Close gates on the hangers to complete the installation.

Step 16:

Optional - use the top data cable holder to secure a separate cable if needed.
