A guide system to enable installation of a cable tie on a supporting element by passing the cable tie through a first passage to traverse the supporting element, then through a second passage to come back to the same side of the supporting element, enabling the cable tie to surround one or more cables. The guide device includes a gutter with a guide surface with two curves, a first longitudinal curve enabling the surface to extend from a passage to the other passage and a second transverse curve forming a partial envelope for receiving the cable tie and guiding and holding the cable tie in the gutter. The device also has at least one protrusion with a wedging surface projecting from the surface of the gutter to come into contact with and wedge against the supporting element to lock the gutter in position in relation to the supporting element.

The present application relates to a cable laying device (100). The cable laying device is used for laying a cable, and comprises: a cable laying part (10) comprising a base section (11) and an extension section (12); a turnover mechanism (20) and a positioning adjustment mechanism (30), wherein, the base section (11) and the extension section (12) are connected rotatably relative to each other at their longitudinal ends; the positioning adjustment mechanism (30) is connected to the base section and comprises a rotating assembly (31), wherein the rotating assembly (31) drives the cable laying part to rotate; and the turnover mechanism (20) connects the extension section (12) and the base section (11), and drives the extension section (12) to turn over relative to the base section (11).

A cable pulling system that has at least a cable pulling jig, a wire guide and management jig, and a mechanical coupling to attach the cable pulling jig to a first vehicle to pull multiple cables. The wire guide and management jig helps manage the multiple cables to prevent the multiple cables from i) tangling ii) getting out of alignment, and iii) any combination of both, while being pulled.

A cable conveyance attachment assembly adapted to be operatively connected to a host vehicle and a length of cable. The assembly includes a frame, a mounting plate that is attached to the frame, at least one drum that is rotationally attached to the frame, and a fluid conduit that is operatively connected to the host vehicle and the at least one drum. The at least one drum is adapted to pull the length of cable, and the mounting plate is adapted to removably attach the cable conveyance attachment assembly to the host vehicle. A method for conveying cable including providing a cable conveyance attachment assembly and conveying the length cable to at least one drum.

There is provided a method of installing spiral hangers about a messenger line installed between first and second utility poles with a cable being lashed to the messenger line with a lashing wire. The method includes attaching a first and second spiral hangers to the messenger line between first and second utility poles with the first spiral hanger disposed about the messenger line and the cable. The method includes removing the lashing wire from being around the messenger line and the cable adjacent the second spiral hanger. The method includes moving the second spiral hanger towards the second utility pole. The method includes attaching a successive spiral hanger to the messenger line between the spiral hangers, and repeating the moving of the second spiral hanger and attaching another successive spiral hanger.

A system for installing continuous elongated tubular material (e.g. fiber optic cable) in the ground is provided. The system utilizes an agricultural tractor, preferably having rubber tires or tracks, to draw a plow for creating a trench in the ground in which to install the tubular material. The system is equipped with one or more of a specialized plow mount, an infinitely variable speed transmission on the tractor, a “power beyond” valve on the tractor and global positioning systems on the tractor and plow to more effectively install the tubular material in the ground.
