Stainless Steel Lashing Wire

Stainless steel lashing wire for securing aerial fiber, copper, and coax to the messenger strand — available in Types 430, 302, and 316.

Stainless steel lashing wire is used in a cable lasher to secure aerial fiber optic, copper, and coaxial cables to the supporting messenger strand between utility poles. A specially controlled annealing process produces a uniform, fine-grain structure throughout the wire for consistent bending and wrapping performance in the field.

Estimating Lashing Wire

When estimating the length of lashing wire needed for a cable run, add the following to the measured span length for single lashing:

  • bookmark_check
    Cables up to 1-1/2" diameter: add 5% to span length
  • bookmark_check
    Cables 1-1/2" to 3" diameter: add 10% to span length
  • bookmark_check
    Cables over 3" diameter: add 20% to span length
