Frequently Asked Questions

What is FASTVISE with Loop used for?

FASTVISE with Loop is an automatic deadend designed to terminate and secure messenger wire at a pole, anchor point or similar support location. It is commonly used with messenger-supported fiber optic cables, CATV drop cables and telephone networks. The loop provides the attachment point, while the internal gripping mechanism secures the messenger wire after insertion.

What is the difference between FASTVISE with Loop and FASTLINK?

FASTVISE with Loop is used as a messenger wire deadend, while FASTLINK is used as a messenger wire splice. FASTVISE terminates the messenger wire at an anchor or support point. FASTLINK connects two separate sections of messenger wire, making it suitable for mid-span repair, extension or service-drop splicing applications.

Can FASTVISE and FASTLINK be used for fiber optic and CATV cables?

Yes. FASTVISE with Loop and FASTLINK are designed for messenger wire applications commonly found in fiber optic, CATV and telephone networks. They are particularly suitable where a steel messenger wire supports the cable, including self-supporting and Figure-8 cable configurations. The correct connector size should always be selected according to the messenger wire diameter.

How do you install a FASTVISE or FASTLINK messenger wire connector?

First, make sure the messenger wire is straight, clean and within the specified wire range. For FASTVISE, insert the messenger wire into the connector and push it firmly into position. For FASTLINK, insert one messenger wire from each side of the splice connector. The internal gripping mechanism engages the wire during insertion, creating a fast mechanical connection.

How strong is the FASTVISE messenger wire deadend?

FASTVISE is designed to provide a minimum holding strength of approximately 90% of the rated breaking strength (RBS) of the specified wire. Actual performance depends on selecting the correct FASTVISE model for the messenger wire diameter and following the recommended installation procedure. Refer to the product parameter table for the applicable wire range of each model.
