COMPONENT STRENGTH: The value shown in the table on the following page reflects the strength of the standard housing and U-bolt. Higher strength requirements can be accommodated. Contact PLP® for more information. HOLDING STRENGTH: Specific holding strengths on an OPGW cable will depend upon that cables internal construction design and composition of the materials used for the individual strands. The highest holding capabilities exist with cables that use all aluminum clad steel strands in a single layer. Use of multiple layers and/or aluminum alloy strands may reduce holding capabilities.
