CommScope Trunk & Distribution Cable - Manual (Page 22)

Installation - Back-Pull/Stationery Reel Set-Up
Set-Up Chute Placement
The set-up chute should be positioned on the first pole of the cable route or attached to the strand at the first
pole. Placement of the set-up chute should keep the cable from rubbing on the reel or pole. Either a 45° or 90°
corner block may be used as a set-up chute.
Trailer Set-Up
The trailer should be positioned in-line with the strand and twice the distance of the set-up chute to the ground
from the chute. This prevents the cable from rubbing on the pole or reel or binding on the chute.
If the trailer cannot be positioned there, move the set-up chute and cable trailer to an adjacent pole.
The cable should pay-off the top of the cable reel. The pay-off of the cable from the reel should cause a
downward force at the hitch of the trailer.
Chock the trailer wheels. Adjust the reel brakes as needed. Place protective barriers and cones as needed to
protect pedestrians.
