Cable system with suspended wind damper and method of installing a wind damper

摘要

An improved fastener system supports an aerodynamic wind damper below a cable system. The cable system comprises a suspension support strand that supports a cable, such as a telephone cable. The fastening system comprises a spacer interposed between the support strand and the cable to maintain the support strand and the cable in a spaced- apart relationship. A cable strap, preferably of stainless steel, is wrapped around the support strand and the cable to cinch the support strand and the cable to the spacer. The cable strap is further wrapped around the support strand and the cable with a portion of the strap lying below and spaced apart from the cable to provide a means for supporting the aerodynamic wind damper below the cable in a manner permitting the pivotal movement thereof.
