CommScope Trunk & Distribution Cable - Manual (Page 67)

Equipment/Blocks
Multiple Cable Block
Used to support multiple
cables in independent
rollers. Multiple cable
blocks make a cable
positioner unnecessary
when lashing multiple
cables.
Single Roller Block
Typically used to support
a single cable prior to
lashing and may be used
when cables are lashed
directly to strand or in
overlash applications.
In new strand situations,
single roller blocks may be
locked onto the strand. In
overlash applications, this
block should not be pushed
in front of the lasher.
Pole Mount
Cable Block
Used to install
self-support cable and
is attached to the pole
hardware to support the
cable as it is pulled out.
Economy Block
Used to support a single
cable prior to lashing
and, depending on the
actual block, may be
used when cables are
lashed directly to strand
or in overlash
applications.
