What type of cable must extra-high-strength cables be terminated with?

Extra-high-strength cables must be terminated with dead-end tree grips to ensure secure and reliable anchoring of the cable. Dead-end tree grips are specifically designed to handle the high loads and stresses that come with the tension of extra-high-strength cables. These grips provide a firm hold and distribute the load evenly across the cable, minimizing the risk of slippage or failure at the termination point.

This is particularly important for applications involving tree supports and lightning protection, where adequate support and safety are paramount. In contrast, other termination options, such as steel clamps or standard cable grips, may not provide the same level of security or be appropriate for the high-performance requirements of extra-high-strength cables. Insulation sleeves, while useful in protecting the cable from environmental factors, do not serve the purpose of effectively terminating or gripping the cable under high stress.
