ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an improved cable lashing machine for securing a fiber optic cable to a supporting strand. The cable lashing machine, which is movable along the supporting strand, has an elongated housing which has a central through bore extending the length of the housing for reception of the fiber optic cable and the supporting strand. A spinning head mounted on the elongated housing carries a coil of lashing line on a rotatable spool and pays out the line to wrap helically around the fiber optic cable and the supporting strand as the elongated housing is advanced along the supporting strand. A tension loading device places tension on the fiber optic cable as it passes through the central bore and as it is lashed to the supporting strand, with the amount of tension supplied being sufficient to maintain the fiber optic cable coextensive relative to the supporting strand.
