ABSTRACT:
Missile support cables are passed through cable fitter support blocks, which are ridgidly affixed to the silo, and are swaged to heavy blocks resting upon the support blocks via a canister having ductile mesh therein. Upon a downblast, the cables are maintained in tension due to the low downward acceleration of the heavy blocks, while the support blocks are rapidly downwardly accelerated and upon rebound, smash into the energy absorbing canister which prevents the failure of the cables by controlling excess tension therein.
