PREFORMED Drop Wire Dead-ends and Figure-8 Dead-Ends provide an easy, low-cost way to support service drop wire without bail failures or stripping of the insulation. Rapidly applied by hand without tools, they are adjusted to exert firm uniform holding power throughout their length, without crushing or damaging drop wire. Wrap-on design prevents potentially damaging stress points. PREFORMED Drop Wire Deadends present a trim, neat appearance, and are manufactured of neoprene-coated stainless steel for added protection against the elements.
