Cable Installation

The SnapStak snap-in cable hanger from Andrew enables installation engineers to secure coaxial cables on wireless communications towers. The self-stacking hanger is convenient for multiple-tenant communications towers where space is at a premium. Each hanger accommodates one run of Heliax or other make of coaxial cable and hangers and can be double or triple stacked subject to cable size. The hanger’s self-contained spring fork and retention-tab design eliminates the need to use loose hardware to secure individual cable lines. It is snapped into a ¾-inch hole in the pre-punched tower mounting structure. SnapStak hangers mount directly to wireless communications towers, or with various mounting accessories, they also can be used on rooftop, building and water-tower installations.
