CABLE VIBRATION DAMPER AND METHOD OF INSTALLING

摘要

CABLE VIBRATION DAMPENER AND METHOD OF INSTALLING ( ) A device for suppressing wind induced motions in aerial cables and a method of installing the same. The device comprises a cylindrical rod of substantial length having a generally straight center section terminating in helically configured cable gripping sections. Adjacent one end is a non-gripping support helix. The support helix functions to provide support to one end of the device while the device is slid to a position on the cable where the helically configured gripping section at the opposite end can be wrapped to the aerial cable.
