Aerial Cable Damper

(888)644-60754 - 3

Diamond’s Aerial Cable Damper is designed to use the force of the wind to aerodynamically reduce themovement and oscillation of aerial cable. Intended for use on aerial cables of 18 to 150 pairs. • A.C. Damper plate is made of high-grade aluminum alloy with 25,000 psi tensile strength.

• Lashed cable supports are made of corrosion resistant stainless steel with 80,000 psi tensile strength.• “D” lashing clamps are made of high quality steel mechanically galvanized to meet ASTM specification

B695.

Diamond’s A.C. Damper Kit Consists of the Following:1 pc. A.C. Damper Plate.2 pc. Stainless Steel lashed cable supports, 16" lg. (34–08922)3 pc. “D” Lashing clamps (26–09010) Installation sheet enclosed.

Cable Guards are not included due to variable cable sizes which can be accommodated.

Installation1. Select proper size cable guard for application.2. Place guard on cable over horizontal slots in A.C. Damper.3. Insert lashed cable supports through horizontal slots. Use two wraps and secure by bending end over top

of buckle. Allow 1/4" clearance between cable and top of A.C. Damper. *A.C.D. must be allowed to swingfree with the wind.

4. Position lashing clamps inside lashed cable supports and secure. Lashing clamps will restrict longitudinalmovement to cable area protected by cable guards.

5. Placement – The number of A.C.D’s varies with length of cable span and terrain. The following isrecommended as a guide for maximum effectiveness.

Level Ground – Locate at span’s center for 125–170' Spans (Fig. 1). On spans 170–300' Locate twoA.C.D.’s each one fourth the total span length from either pole. (Fig. 2)Steep Grade – Locate one tenth total span length from pole at lower level on 125–170'spans. (Fig. 3)On spans 170–300' two A.C.D.’s are required. Locate one at one fourth the total spanlength from lower pole. Locate second A.C.D. halfway between first A.C.D. and uphillpole. (Fig. 4)*Note – When installing on Fig. 8 cable A.C.D. should be secured to exposed strand.

PowerShaft CAM ACTION® AnchorsNo–Wrench Cam Action® Screw Anchors

These anchors can be installed either manually or with power driven equipment. Manual installation isaccomplished by inserting a bar through the eye and screwing the anchor down. Installations with portable orvehicle mounted installing equipment is accomplished by means of adapters. The eye dimensions are the same asshown on the Threaded Forged–Eye.

Expanding Anchors*Black Painted (Less Rods)

The multi-blade, one-piece top plate expands upon impact into undisturbed earth to form a cone shaped square,which distributes the anchor’s holding power over a wide area, building up compression against an invertedpyramid of earth. The expanding anchor retains its shape under extremely heavy loads because the base platesupports the blades in the middle and distributes the load uniformly over the blades. Reinforcing ribs provideadditional strength.

Figure–8 Span Clamp

The DIAMOND Figure–8 Span Clamp is used in CATV and telephone drop installations to provide drop wire take–offsalong a span of figure–8 aerial cable or multi–pair distribution wire, relieving tension on the drop wire at this point. Itis also used as a pull off to hold figure–8 aerial cable or multi–pair distribution wire away from obstacles in the line ofaerial construction. This application eliminates the use of tree guards. This Clamp is a multi–purpose clamp. The 3/8" hook has a deep bend and extended shank to retain a drop wire clamp or wire grip so it cannot slip off. And it hasthe strength required to withstand the stress of pulling the cable or wire away from an obstruction along the cablerun. This multi–purpose design eliminates the need to carry two separate clamps in inventory.

• Hook and nut are made of high quality steel. Mechanically galvanized to meet ASTM specifications A153 and B695.• Through controlled galvanizing, threads are sharp and clean, allowing nut to turn easily.• Plates are made of high grade aluminum alloy, with a tensile strength of 45,000 P.S.I.• Full 3/8" body and thread diameter of hook insures against nut stripping and snapping of bolt.• Tensile strength of steel hook is 75,000 P.S.I.• Clamp will accommodate multiple drops.• R.E.A. accepted.


Crossover Clamp

The DIAMOND Crossover Clamp is used in telephone and CATV aerial construction to clamp two 1/4" diameterstranded messengers at right angle crossings. This Clamp is designed with a greater clamping area thanconventional crossover clamps to provide more positive clamping action and prevent frictional wear on the messengercables. The symmetrical top and bottom plates are precisely contoured to accept and lock the crossing messengercables.

The DIAMOND Crossover Clamp is partially assembled, with both the top and bottom plates held together by one ofthe bolts. The 3/8" diameter hex head bolts are threaded into tapped holes in the plates, eliminating the handling ofloose nuts. These features minimize the number of components the installer must handle and allow fasterinstallation.DIAMOND’s quality controlled galvanizing allows bolts to be easily turned into the tapped holes and providesmaximum corrosion resistance.

Guy AttachmentsHot Dip Galvanized

Joslyn Guy Attachments provide an economical and efficient means of fastening guys to poles. Well rounded wiregrooves protect the strand from damage.

The formed steel style guy attachments feature a closed strand loop when mounted. The J6505 two-bolt type ismounted with a 3/4" through-bolt and a 1/2" lag screw to give additional strength and keep the attachment in line.

The ears of the malleable guy attachments will accommodate any type of guy loop or clamp bail. The lowermounting hole is for a 1/2" lag screw.

Wherever possible, installation should be made under the head of a machine bolt; when used under the nut, thethreaded portion of the bolt is subjected to stress, thus reducing strength.


Guy Wire Serving Sleeves

Designed to secure and prevent flaring of loose end of strand projecting beyond guy clamp. Hot dip galvanized.


HooksHot Dip Galvanized

Joslyn produces a complete line of hooks for supporting bailtype drop wire and deadend clamps from poles andcrossarms. The J3316P and J3318 drive hooks have rolled fetter drive threads and a pilot point for easy starting.

Stainless Steel Lashing Wire

Strength - For equivalent sizes of lashing wire, Grade 430 stainless has a lower strength (breaking load) than eitherthe 302 or 316 Grades. If increased strength is required, either a larger diameterGrade 430 wire should be used or Grades 302 or 316 should be used becauseof their higher breaking strength. In extreme strength applications, doublelashings of Grades 302 or 316 should be considered for highest possibleload bearing capabilities.Corrosion - In order of increasing corrosion resistance, the materials areranked 430, 302, and 316. For general service conditions where thematerial is exposed to non-salt environments, Grade 430 is adequate.Where acid rain, heavy industrial pollution, and/or salt environments areencountered, Grade 316 should be used. Grade 302 has corrosion resistancewhich falls between the 430 and 316 and is suitable for mildly corrosive environments.
