Anti-Rotational Device (ARD)

Features and benefits

  • Stops cables from twisting as they pass over pulling blocks
  • Suitable for fibre optic and OPGW cable
  • Prevents irreparable damage to delicate fibre optics caused by cable twists during installation
  • Travel easily over pulling blocks

The Anti-Rotational Device prevents cables from twisting as they travel over pulling blocks. Left uncontrolled, the optical cable’s delicate glass fibres could be permanently damaged during installation.

Weighted attachments hang down while stringing, keeping the ARD vertical to stop cable rotation. These attachments then collapse in line, enabling them to travel easily over pulling blocks.
