Break-Away Swivel for Fiber Optic and Coaxial Cable Pulling
Ensure the safety and integrity of your fiber optic and coaxial cable installations with our high-performance Break-Away Swivels. Designed specifically for challenging cable pulling applications, these swivels are meticulously engineered to protect your cables by precisely separating at a predetermined load, effectively preventing damage during installation processes.
1. Enhanced Safety Features:
Our Break-Away Swivels incorporate a built-in safety mechanism that automatically activates to protect your valuable cables. Each swivel is designed to separate at ±10% of its rated break load. When pulling tasks exceed this safe threshold, the interior break pin fractures, allowing the swivel to disconnect. This clever design safeguards your cables from the potentially catastrophic effects of excessive tension, ensuring they remain intact and functional.
2. Versatile Break Load Capacity:
Available in a precise break load range from 200 to 1,800 pounds (890–8,006 N), our swivels cater to various cable-pulling tasks. Whether you’re handling light-duty applications or heavy-duty installations, you can trust our swivels to meet the specific demands of your project, giving you flexibility and confidence in your operation.
3. Patent-Protected Innovation:
You can count on our Break-Away Swivels for reliability and performance, as each product is protected under U.S. Patent No. 4,687,365. This patent ensures that our swivels are at the forefront of technology and design, providing you with a unique advantage in your cable pulling operations.
Key Applications:
- Fiber Optic Cable Installations:
Pulling fiber optic cables requires meticulous care due to the fragility of the fiber glass strands. Our Break-Away Swivels act as a crucial safety buffer during installation, reducing the risk of kinks or breaks that could lead to significant downtime and costly repairs.
- Coaxial Cable Installations:
In coaxial cable installations, managing tension is essential to preventing damage. Our swivels are engineered to handle hefty loads while maintaining the integrity of the coaxial cables, ensuring that your installations are both successful and efficient.
Product Benefits:
- Durable Construction: Crafted from high-quality materials, our swivels are built to withstand the rigors of cable pulling environments, delivering long-lasting performance you can trust.
- Ease of Use: Designed for quick and easy attachment to various pulling systems, our swivels simplify the setup process, allowing you to focus on your installation tasks instead of equipment complications.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Investing in our Break-Away Swivels can save you significant costs in the long run by minimizing cable damage and ensuring smoother operations, leading to fewer project delays and repairs.
