ABSTRACT:
An easily-installable support capable of accommodating a wide variety of fiber optic cables is disclosed. The fiber optic cable support uses a one-piece, variable diameter mechanism for cushioning and spacing the supported cable. The support is also contoured to increase the surface area available to contact a utility pole or other structure and includes one or more cleats or gains which provide additional contact strength by biting into and gripping wooden or similar poles. The support is designed to provide approximately constant compressive pressure to the supported sections of a length of cable and sufficient pressure to avoid the need to apply grit or other loose friction-increasing substances to the cushion interior. Because it is of relatively constant or slowly varying cross-section, the support can be die formed with minimal disruption of the fluid flow within the die.
