These handy spacers help maintain proper separation between the cable and strand on either side of the pole.

• Made from durable, weatherproof Alathon.
• Upper grooved surface presses against the messenger, while a split lower section rides on the cable.
• A slot running through the side projection accommodates the B Lashed Cable Support.
• Sold in packages of 50 or 100 spacers per package.

You can use this plier-type tool to slit the web between the strand and the cable core on figure 8 cable.

• All you have to do is hold the block of the slitter parallel to the strand and draw it along the cable and the strand.
• The self-guiding tool makes sure the blade pierces the web and not the sheath or strand jacket.
• The cutting blade is held with a square washer to prevent bending.
• Also referred to as a 305B tool.

These easy to install bending shoes protect cables from sharp edges in and around manholes and conduit systems.

• Made of cadmium-plated, 13-gauge steel with a protective polymer coating to extend the life.
• Each shoe has a tie off at either end for increasing stability during the pulling of cables through it.
• The trough-like section is bent into a 75º arc with an extended end for easier insertion into the duct.
• This arc also provides a curved support for bending the cable around.
• Two sizes available: 3 in. and 3.5 in.
