CommScope Trunk & Distribution Cable - Manual (Page 32)

Hardware and Block Placement
Extension brackets, strand clamps and roller blocks should be in place prior to cable placement for each method
described.
The C strand suspension clamp (shown at right) is used on jacketed strand. It is a
three-bolt clamp with serpentine grooves to prevent slippage of the jacketed strand
through the clamp. The suspension clamp must be a type recommended for the size of
strand used. It must be placed so the strand groove is below the suspension bolt.
Place a cable chute on the first pole using a B or C frame without the swivel bracket.
Place a pole mount block or equivalent on all in line poles. Blocks and frames listed previously may also be used.
Use a multiple roller block for
45 and 90 degree angles.
