DEBEGLASS Non-Conductive Guy Wire - Strong, light, corrosion and UV resistant

Called DEBEGLASS, this unique wire has numerous significant characteristics that make it a clear first choice for guying either Antenna Towers, Poles or Masts :

• Both stronger and lighter than steel wire.
• Non-conductive and will not interfere with an antenna’s radiation pattern.
• Non-magnetic.
• Corrosion free and water resistant.
• Ideal for areas exposed to salt water spray or storms, such as the harsh marine environment.
• Resistant to UV degradation.
• Immune to severe icing since ice cannot easily attach to the smooth outer jacket. Normal wind vibrations will cause any ice that might form to fall off.
• Nearly no elongation over time, unlike steel wire.
• Much easier to handle and terminate.
• Maintenance free.

The Debeglass manufacturing process is relatively new technology. High tensile fibreglass yarn is bound into a compact circular cross section. The bound yarn is then sheathed inside a special blue UV stabilised PVC jacket.

There are 6 different diameters of guy wire available ranging from 4 mm up to 12 mm, as shown in the table below.

The tension strength yield of the thinnest 4 mm diameter Debeglass wire is 430 kg, stronger than steel wire of the same diameter and also around 30% lighter.

DEBECLIP terminators are available to suit each different diameter. Requiring just a screwdriver and spanner, terminating guy wire in the field has never been easier ! Alternatively, other non-debeglass brand terminators can still be used.

For guying masts, ZCG Scalar can assemble a complete DEBEGLASS GUY KIT to suit the particular mast involved. Contact us for further details.

In the event of a lightning strike to your antenna mast, prevent dangerous high voltage from reaching the ground through guy wires with these porcelain insulators.

Generally two insulators are fitted on each guy wire; one near the top of the antenna mast and another half way down the length of the guy wire.
