PLP Snow Shoe with Strand Mount Hardware 16" Plastic (One Pair)

Overview

The PLP FIBERLIGN® In-Span Storage Snow Shoe is an aerial slack cable management system designed to safely store excess fiber optic cable for future use or emergency repairs. This system provides an organized, secure method for maintaining cable loops in aerial plant environments.

Constructed with durable plastic, these units feature integrated Cable Capture Tabs that simplify the installation process.
