ABSTRACT:
A method of storing surplus ADSS cable includes steps of laying out a length of cable along an aerial route defined by a series of poles and forming loops of surplus cable at occasional poles. The cable is raised to a predetermined installation height at each pole. Two dead-ends at the pole secure the ends of the loop so that the loop is substantially free of tension. The center of the loop is raised and secured to the pole while maintaining the minimum bend radius, thus forming two bights in the loop. A bend radius protector is installed in each of the bights to protect the cable. Each bend radius protector is suspended from a cable protecting sleeve placed over the taut cable, so that the cable is not damaged. An apparatus for practicing the method is also disclosed.
