The Mid Span Cable Spreader simplifies the process of permanently separating secondary multiplex conductors for mid-span taps or connections in electrical distribution systems. Constructed from Ultra Violet (UV) stabilized, high-density polyethylene, the spreader resists environmental degradation and provides long-term durability in outdoor applications. Its design, developed through over 25 years of industry collaboration, enhances safety by providing controlled cable manipulation.
The spreader features integrated tie holes for securing conductors and maintaining separation. A companion tool, available separately, facilitates installation by quickly opening and spreading twisted wire cables. Various models accommodate different cable configurations, including the S-601 with 2.25-inch dimensions and the S-606 extending up to 17 inches in length, suitable for twisted wire secondaries rated up to 600 volts or 600 Volts Alternating Current (VAC).
During mid-span tap installations in triplex cable systems, the spreader temporarily spreads conductors to allow connections. It is specifically intended for secondary electrical lines in utility settings and should not be used as a permanent replacement for mid-span spreaders. The product includes regulatory warnings regarding potential cancer and reproductive harm per safety standards.
