ABSTRACT:
An electrically nonconductive utility cable guard for use in protecting electrical riser cables from vandalism and rodent damage. The cable guard is a U-shaped open-ended channel formed of a reinforced synthetic resin material having an overall thickness of from 1/4" to 5/8". Molded to the outer edge of each side portion of the channel are short mounting tabs having apertures therein for mounting the guard to an accommodating surface such as a utility pole. In one embodiment the tabs extend from the side walls at an angle of 105.degree.. The cable guard neatly mates with underground conduit extensions due to a novel footing integrally molded to one end of the channel. The footing uses a plurality of stepped lips extending axially and radially away from the channel to mate with the ends of conduit of various sizes.
