Litzenspleiß
Litzenspleiß, also known as a Strand Splice Connector, is a device designed to repair or connect sections of guy wire or messenger cable. It consists of preformed rods made from high-strength materials like galvanized steel, Aluminium, or stainless steel. Strand Splices come in various sizes to match different cable diameters and are typically rated for 100% of the strand’s published breaking strength.
The primary function of a Strand Splice is to restore the full rated strength of damaged or severed cables in outside plant networks. To use a Strand Splice, it is centered over the damaged area of the guy wire or messenger cable, with the preformed rods wrapped around both cable ends. Strand Splices are commonly used with guy wires, messenger cables, and other overhead line hardware in telecommunications and power distribution systems.
Features of Strand Splice:
• Single-use design for optimal performance
• Available in multiple sizes for various cable diameters
• Made from the same material as the cable for compatibility
• Provides excellent load-bearing capacity
• Für Antenne geeignet, underground, and pedestal installations
• Easy to install without specialized tools

Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)
How does a Strand Splice restore cable strength?
A Strand Splice restores 100% of the strand’s published breaking strength when properly installed over damaged areas. The preformed rods wrap around both cable ends, distributing tension evenly across the splice area, providing maximum strength and excellent fatigue characteristics for both strand and messenger cables.
What materials are Strand Splices made from?
Strand Splices are manufactured from high-strength materials matching the cable they’re connecting, including galvanized steel, Aluminium, or stainless steel. This material compatibility ensures optimal performance and prevents galvanic corrosion between different metals.
How do you install a Strand Splice?
Installation involves centering the splice over the damaged area, aligning color marks, and wrapping subsets around the cable. Apply 3-4 pitches initially, then wrap additional subsets into the previous ones. Split wire ends if necessary for easier installation and ensure all ends snap firmly into place.
What types of cables can Strand Splices be used with?
Strand Splices are compatible with guy wires, messenger cables, and overhead line hardware in telecommunications and power distribution systems. They come in various sizes to match different cable diameters for aerial, underground, and pedestal installations.
How do you determine the correct Strand Splice size?
Select a Strand Splice that matches the exact diameter of the cable being repaired. The splice must be the same size as the strand or messenger wire to ensure proper installation and maintain the full rated breaking strength of the cable.
