  • Drop cable
    Patent number: 5789701
    Abstract: A drop cable arrangement in which a carried line (9) is supported by a strength member (3), the carried line being attached to the strength member via a tubular member (7) that is a sufficiently loose fit around the strength member to permit relative longitudinal movement therebetween. In the event of additional loading on the drop cable the strength member extends due to the increased tension, but this tension is not transferred to the carried line due to the permitted relative movement of the tubular member and strength member.
