Reinforced Self-Support Cable is a solid insulated, double jacket, armored, self-supporting air core design intended for aerial installations where hazards from squirrel attack, tree limb abrasion or lightning exist. The undulated, shielded, jacketed core is covered with a flooded steel armor, laid parallel to a flooded steel support member and jacketed in an integral extrusion to form a “figure 8” configuration. The steel strand member is readily available for gripping, pulling and tensioning using standard methods and hardware.
