Overview

The Woodhead 36685 Fiber Optic Support Grip, SKU 36685, is engineered for the secure and reliable support of sensitive fiber optic cables in industrial and telecommunications applications. Manufactured by Woodhead, this closed mesh, single eye support grip is constructed from tinned-bronze wire mesh, offering excellent corrosion resistance for extended service life in challenging environments. The closed mesh design ensures permanent support where the cable end is accessible. Its single eye/bale configuration is a standard and widely applied choice for fiber optic installations, providing a stable connection point. Key specifications and features of the Woodhead 36685 include: * **Material:** Tinned-bronze wire mesh for superior corrosion resistance. * **Mesh Type:** Closed mesh for permanent support. * **Configuration:** Single eye/bale for universal application. * **Bale Length:** 0.178m (7.00 inches). * **Cable Diameter Range:** 14.22mm to 18.03mm (0.560" to 0.710"). * **Approximate Break Strength:** 500 lbs (226.8 kg). * **Workload Safety Factor:** 10:1, resulting in a safe working load of 50 lbs. * **Reinforced Eye Protector:** Top-mounted for enhanced stability and durability. This support grip is crucial for preventing micro-bending and macro-bending in fiber optic cables, which can lead to signal degradation and data loss. The Woodhead 36685 provides consistent tension and prevents undue stress on the cable, ensuring the integrity and performance of fiber optic networks in data centers, telecommunications infrastructure, and industrial automation. Its robust construction and specific dimensions make it an essential component for reliable cable management and long-term network performance. The product is manufactured in the US and has a CSA File No. of LR32159.
