Standard Fiber Optic

Pulling Grips X & XIE

All standard application grips may be ordered with
stainless steel strand upon request.

Model X-FO Grips

Lewis now offers a flexible eye fiber optic cable pulling grip. The grips are manufactured standard with high strength galvanized wire. Add "SS" to the end of the part number if stainless steel mesh is required. The flexible eye connects easily to a swivel or pulling line. The single wire eye is very flexible and will conform to the tightest of clearances. Lewis flexible eye fiber optic grips are used for the installation of fiber optic cables either underground, overhead or through enclosures. These pulling grips will pull single cables or bundles, are easily installed on the cable, and are reusable.

NOTE: Please use a Lewis HD-00 ball bearing swivel when installing fiber, in order to release tension that would otherwise damage the cable.

Model XIE-FO Grips

The XIE model has the same basic features as the X model. However, the XIE offers an interior pulling eye. The interior eye is attached to a strength member found on some fiber optic cable. When the interior eye is used, the fiber remains neutral and will not detach from the exterior insulation.

NOTE: Please use a Lewis HD-00 ball bearing swivel when installing fiber, in order to release tension that would otherwise damage the cable.
