Cable grips for fibre optical cables from KATIMEX® are made from highly flexible strands. The multiple grading of the mesh guarantees a uniform transfer of tension to the cable over the entire working length without causing any damage to it. For certain fibre optical cables only a small part of the tension may be transferred to the cable coating. The greater part of the tension is transferred to a central metallic tension relief. The different guide heads for fibre optical cables with central metallic tension relief elements has been authorised by German Telekom for the laying of such cables.
