Hoisting Stocking Grips for 7/8" and 1/2" cables

Pulling coaxial cable into position has never been easier with these Hoisting Stocking Grips.

The stocking is laced around coaxial cable over a 30 cm length. The single or double eyelets allow a high pulling force with the least amount of stress to the coaxial cable.

Bird-Proof Stainless Steel Braid

Birds gnawing at your antenna feeder cable can cause serious problems eventually resulting in system failure.

The most effective solution is to feed vulnerable sections of cable through stainless steel braid which will provide the ultimate protection against all such bird damage. The braid ends can be secured with stainless steel hose clamps. Stainless steel bird-proof braid is highly flexible and will survive long term in the harshest of environments.

Snap-In Cable Hangers, Packs of 10

Available in Packs of 10, stainless steel Snap-In Cable Hangers provide a simple and secure method of installing 7/8" and 1/2" flexible foam dialectric coaxial cables to a tower or mast.

These hangers are easily pressed over the coaxial cable jacket which is gripped tight by the curved internal fingers with no slippage. Next, squeeze the curled snap-in fingers, insert the hanger into a 3/4" (19 mm) hole and release the fingers.

The stainless steel construction of these Snap-In Cable Hangers ensures a long service life in the most extreme weather conditions and highly corrosive environments.

There are three typical installation methods :

1. Where there are 3/4" holes available in the tower structure, simply insert the Snap-In Hangers into those holes. The tower member can be between 3.0 and 3.4 mm thick.
2. Where there no holes available, or the tower structure is thicker than 3.4 mm, then order stainless steel Angle Adapters which bolt to the tower. Then insert the Snap-In Hanger into the Angle Adapter.
3. Where the coaxial cable is being installed up a round mast, then order Stand-Off Adapters which are secured tight by a strap. Then insert the Snap-In Hanger into the Stand-Off Adaptor.

PVC Cable Hangers, Packs of 10

PVC Cable Hanger Clamps are a modern solution to install 7/8" and 1/2" flexible foam dielectric coaxial cables neatly. Multiple runs of coaxial cable can be stacked in space saving configurations of one, two or three parallel rows.

Each compact PVC Hanger Clamp holds one run of cable. It is recommended a clamp be placed at one metre intervals. The internal cable-gripping ridges press into the cable jacket to provide firm support in heavy wind and ice loading conditions.

The two piece clamps mount to threaded rod with nuts and washers. (Not supplied.) The rod can screw into the threaded hole of either a Cleat or Angle Adapter.

It is important to select rod with the correct thread size:

1. If mounting these PVC Cable Hangers to a Cleat, then you will need M8–1.25 threaded rod.
2. If mounting to Angle Adapters, then use 3/8"–16UNC threaded rod.

Available in packs of 10, these cable hanger clamps are manufactured from a durable UV weather resistant polypropylene which exceeds the recommended temperature parameters for coaxial cable.

Angle Adapters, Kits of 10

When installing 7/8" or 1/2" coaxial cable into position up a tower where there are no holes available to fit Cable Hangers, then Angle Adapters will provide the ideal solution.

Available in Kits of 10, Angle Adapters bolt directly to a tower member up to 22 mm thick. They lock into place with toothed jaws and the 5 cm square head 3/8"–16UNC set screw bolt supplied. There is no need to drill any holes.

The Angle Adapter offers two methods of mounting Cable Hangers :

1. Insert a stainless steel Snap-In Cable Hanger into the 3/4" (19 mm) hole in the Angle Adapter. There are two 3/4" holes available, one in the back and another in the underside.
2. If using traditional Cable Hangers or threaded rod, then an insert, spring washer and shorter 3/8"–16UNC bolt is also supplied for fitting those to the Angle Adapter.

This is a heavy duty, high strength mounting solution. The stainless steel construction of these Angle Adapters ensures long term survival in the harshest of weather conditions and highly corrosive environments.

Kits include 10 stainless steel Angle Adapters together with the appropriate number of bolts, washers and inserts.

Cleats, Packs of 10

Cleats can be used to mount Cable Hangers to a tower.

The Cleat bolts onto a tower member up to 22 mm thick, either flat or angle iron, and is securely locked in position by the 35 mm long M6–1.0 Hex Head Set Screw.

There is no need to drill any holes.

A Cleat offers two methods of mounting different Cable Hangers :

1. Mount PVC Cable Hanger Clamps to M8–1.25 threaded rod with nuts and washers. This size rod will screw directly into the matching M8–1.25 threaded hole of a Cleat.
2. If using traditional Cable Hangers, then secure these to Cleats with short M8–1.25 bolts and spring washers (not supplied).

There are two M8–1.25 threaded holes available in the Cleat; one in the back and another in the underside. Cleats are constructed from metal alloy.

Crimp Tools

Having used various brands of Crimp Tools over the years, ZCG Scalar can highly recommend these 8.7" Hex Series Tools for fitting Crimp Connectors to the more common coaxial cable types listed below.

Stainless Steel Cable Tie Tensioner Tool

This Stainless Steel Cable Tie Tensioner Tool will :
• Fit stainless steel cable ties quickly and easily,
• Set the correct predetermined tension, and
• Neatly cut off the tail.
The high quality construction ensures a long service life.

Cable Ties and Tape

Stainless steel cable ties offer significant benefits over the black nylon type :

• Superior strength.
• Ideal for use indoors, outdoors or underground.
• Resistant to corrosion, salt, acids, chemicals, radiation, extreme temperatures and all weather conditions.
• Install with full confidence that the Grade 316 Stainless Steel will maintain integrity over many decades.

All connections should be sealed with two layers of self-amalgamating tape to prevent ingress of moisture.
