PLP FIBERLIGN Snow Shoe with ADSS Hardware 12" Plastic (One Pair)

Overview

The PLP FIBERLIGN Snow Shoe is an aerial slack storage solution engineered for secure, organized management of excess fiber optic cable. Designed for use in outside plant (OSP) environments, this 12-inch plastic snow shoe allows technicians to store slack cable for future expansion or emergency restoration repairs.

This system features innovative cable capture tabs that simplify the installation process by holding the cable securely while the storage bracket is positioned. The included ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) hardware ensures compatibility with standard self-supporting aerial cable deployments. By enabling vertical stacking of multiple cables, the unit provides high storage capacity while maintaining a compact physical footprint.
