The Strand Splice is a preformed wire line splice that connects or repairs damaged guy wire and messenger cable in telecommunications and power distribution. Centered over the damage point, it restores full tensile strength and ensures continuity in outside plant networks.<\/p>\n

This splice provides holding strength equivalent to 100% of the strand’s published breaking strength, applying uniform radial pressure to minimize cable damage. Color-coded for field selection, splices are manufactured from materials matching the strand\u2014galvanized steel, coated steel, or stainless steel\u2014preventing galvanic corrosion and ensuring compatibility. The design improves fatigue characteristics, and installation typically requires no specialized tools, involving wrapping preformed subsets around cable ends.<\/p>\n

Available in sizes accommodating various strand diameters, common nominal sizes include 1\/4 inch, 5\/16 inch, and 3\/8 inch, with actual diameter ranges such as 0.231 to 0.259 inches for 1\/4 inch splices. Standard lengths are approximately 35 inches. Materials often comply with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications, including Class B galvanized or Galfan coated steel. Splices integrate with high strength closures and are cataloged under industry-standard numbers for identification.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
