Specifications - Galvanized Steel Messenger | Dielectric Messenger

Features and Applications

• Figure-eight construction for use with standard messenger clamping and support hardware. Two options are available: (1) Galvanized Steel (GS) Messenger is a cost-saving option for ultimate durability and survival (2) Dielectric Strength Member (DS) Messenger is a fiberglass/aramid strength members/epoxy messenger for high strength. This all-dielectric construction is ideal for use near electrical power lines and in areas of frequent lightning.
• Ideal for new installations. The figure-eight messenger cable reduces installation time and cost by approximately 50% compared to separate installation of a messenger wire and the lashing of the cable to the messenger.
• Wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +85°C
• Water-blocked MX-Series Figure-Eight Messenger Cables are available
