The Plastic Sno-Shoe® has been designed to store additional lengths of fiber along the strand for later use. Also as a safeguard, protecting the minimum bend radius of the fiber optic cable while establishing proper installation practices.

The Plastic ADSS Sno-Shoe® has been designed to eliminate the need for slack storage vaults and allow for ADSS slack to be stored ariel for later use. Also to act as a safeguard, protecting the minimum bend radius of the fiber optic cable while establishing proper installation practices.

The Plastic Adjustable Sno-Shoe® has been designed for slack storage at the 90º location where the pole turns a corner. The 16" (40.6 cm) diameter circle design allows two half circle units to be installed on the strand. The half circle design can be adjusted to the desired coil diameter and coil length. The wide 2" x 2" (5 cm x 5 cm) channel allows for the coil to be wrapped numerous times. The Adjustable Sno-Shoe® can be adjusted to a captive length of 25" (64 cm) or it can be adjusted to a desired length without being captive. In addition, the Plastic Adjustable Sno-Shoe® still serves as a safeguard, protecting the minimum bend radius of the fiber optic cable while establishing proper installation practices. The Multilink Plastic Adjustable Sno-Shoe® is a durable and cost effective tool for storing fiber optic cable along the strand.

The Sno-Shoe® family of fiber optic stack storage products has been expanded to include an industry driven solution - the new Plastic 24-inch Adjustable Sno-Shoe®. As the Broadband Industry moves towards longer wavelenghts to maximize bandwidth and higher fiber counts to meet the customer demand, eliminating bending problems throughout the fiber plant has become even more critical. Longer wavelengths are more susceptible to macro bend losses, and higher fiber counts to require larger bend radii. The revolutionary design meets these needs. With a 2-1/4 inch wide trough (the largest in the industry), it supports the higher fiber counts of Loose Tube, Central Tube, Ribbon and ADSS cables without violating the minimum bend radii specified by cable manufacturers.
