Devices, systems, and methods are provided for compact transmission lines structure. A compact transmission lines structure may comprise a first subsystem of a pole and a crossarm, wherein the crossarm is stacked above the pole, wherein the crossarm comprises a cantilever end situated away from the pole. The compact transmission lines structure may comprise a second subsystem connected to the cantilever end. The second subsystem comprising a first diamond-shaped insulator assembly supporting a first single three-phase transmission line. The compact transmission lines structure may comprise a third subsystem connected to the cantilever end, the third subsystem comprising a second diamond-shaped insulator assembly supporting a second single three-phase transmission line, wherein the second diamond-shaped insulator assembly mirrors the first diamond-shaped insulator assembly. The compact transmission lines structure may comprise at least two shield wires configured to provide lightning protection.

A support device for supporting a cable includes a central support portion having a first side and a second side. The support device also includes a first leg portion extending between a first end and a second end, the first leg portion having a first helical winding. The support device also includes a second leg portion extending between a third end and a fourth end, the second leg portion having a second helical winding. The support device further includes a hanger portion attached to the central support portion. The hanger portion includes structure that cooperates with an associated attachment structure. The first leg portion is attached to the central support portion and the second leg portion is attached to the central support portion. The first helical winding and the second helical winding are configured to receive the cable.

Approaches for bracket for strand mounted CATV outdoor equipment. The bracket comprises a body having a first end and a second end opposing the first end. The first end comprises one or more resting hooks sized to be positioned over a strand. The resting hooks allow for resting the CATV outdoor equipment temporarily onto the strand in a position that readily accommodates the permanent attachment of the CATV outdoor equipment to the strand. The first end of the bracket also comprises a clamp for securing the bracket to the strand, while the second end comprises a securing mechanism for securing the bracket to the CATV outdoor equipment. The bracket may be formed from a single piece of shaped metal.
