Overview

The Woodhead Bus-Drop Support Grip (SKU 36577) is a single-eye, galvanized steel wire mesh grip engineered for secure overhead cable support in bus drop applications. Designed to accommodate cables with diameters between 13.21mm and 18.54mm (0.520" to 0.730"), this grip ensures reliable strain relief and load-bearing capacity with an approximate break strength of 358.34kg (790 lbs). The top-mounted reinforced eye protector enhances stability and extends service life by preventing premature wear at the attachment point. The closed mesh design provides permanent support for cable ends, while the single weave construction delivers industrial-grade durability. The grip features a bale length of 0.203m (8.00") and mesh length of 0.203m (8.00"), optimized for bus drop cable applications where secure, long-lasting support is critical. UL File No. E76954 and CSA File No. LR32159 certified, this grip meets stringent safety and performance standards for utility companies, telecommunications providers, and industrial facilities requiring dependable overhead cable management. For outdoor or corrosive environments, a stainless steel variant (add "SS" to the part number) is available, offering enhanced corrosion resistance while maintaining the same mechanical specifications. The galvanized steel construction provides a balance of strength, cost-effectiveness, and corrosion protection for standard installations, while the single-eye design simplifies installation and reduces potential failure points. The 8.00" bale and mesh lengths are specifically tailored to bus drop applications, ensuring proper cable retention and load distribution without excessive bulk. The grip's closed mesh structure prevents cable slippage while allowing for slight flexibility to accommodate thermal expansion or minor cable movement. The reinforced eye protector is designed to withstand repeated loading cycles, reducing the risk of deformation or fatigue failure over time. The UL and CSA certifications confirm compliance with North American electrical and mechanical safety standards, making this grip suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor utility installations.
