Splice tents for outside field applications are made of tough urethane coated polyester fabric. We offer
the standard splice tents and the new Space Saver splice tents. The Space Saver tents have the same
sturdy design and dimensions as the standard series except the front and back walls are vertical, rather
than sloped. Space Savers have approximately 25% shorter folded length for storage and can be set over
a cable or pipe.

Cable Pulling Lubricant
Techlube FO (fiber optic) pulling lubricant is a high
performance, pourable liquid polymer that was engineered
to meet the special requirements of pulling innerduct,
communications, coaxial and fiber optic cables. Techlube
has superior friction reduction capabilities that make it an
excellent choice for long distance and/or difficult placing
applications.
Techlube dries slowly, leaving a thin film that will not
"cement" the cable to the conduit. Techlube also facilitates
in removal or adjustment of the cable. 1-Gallon Jug

BREAK-AWAY SWIVEL 5/8" 600 LBS.
This 5/8" Break-Away Swivels provide an inexpensive fracture point between a pulling line & fiber optic cable to protect
against costly cable damage if the cable's pulling capacity is exceeded. Available in a 5/8" x 3 3/4" body that is made of
steel with a zinc plating finish for wear resistance. Its compact design makes it the perfect choice when pulling cable in 1"
innerduct. Each unit comes with a replaceable color-coded tension bolt (yellow-600 lbs.). The swivel & bolt are
color-coded for identification.
The bolt will separate when the pulling load reaches +/-5% of the bolt rating. It can then be replaced using an Allen
Wrench (included) & screwdriver
Note: We strongly suggest ordering additional replacement bolts with swivels to avoid delays in work if the
bolt supplied with the unit breaks .

FIBER OPTIC PULLING EYE
This pulling eye will protect connectors in most cases while providing a pulling point with properly
distributed tensions on cable assemblies. Available as a stand-alone component or installed by FOT
on your custom cable assembly. The pulling eye has a rotating end clip to minimize cable twisting and
the connectors are protected with cable netting. However, we DO NOT recommend "pulling in"
pre-terminated cable assemblies as this could damage or over-stress the connectors even
when using this device. We advise you to either learn to do the connectorization yourself
using any number of processes or higher a trained contractor to do the job for you. Be sure
to obtain test reports from any contractor that does the job for you.

GOPHER POLES
Whether you are trying to pull wires through a suspended ceiling or push wires under a sub-floor, fish poles are the ideal tools.
Greenlee has introduced two Fish Poles, 10442 - Fish Pole 18’ and 10443 - Fish Pole 24’. Both Fish Poles are designed
specifically for pushing and pulling wires over long distances. To make maneuvering easier in cramped spaces, Greenlee
made both models lightweight. The 10442 Fish Pole 18 weighs slightly over two pounds, while the 10443 Fish Pole 24 is less
than five pounds!
