Overview
The Trident Tug Tape is a heavy-duty pulling tape engineered for the efficient installation of fiber optic and copper cables through underground conduits. Designed for demanding job sites, it provides the high tensile strength required for long-distance pulls, ensuring cables move smoothly without risk of snags or breaks.
Constructed for durability, this tape features high-impact plastic reel packaging that maintains tape integrity during handling and payout. Its robust physical properties allow for reliable performance even under the high-tension conditions frequently encountered in outside plant construction.
Key Features
-
3,300 lbs Tensile Strength
Offers exceptional pulling capacity for heavy-duty cable installation tasks. -
3,000-foot Length
