Cable Pulling Rope & Mule Tape

Cable pulling ropes and mule tape are integral components in the installation of cables in various settings, including telecommunications, electrical, and utility infrastructures. Offered by Ohio Power Tool, these tools are designed to facilitate the pulling of cables through conduits, ducts, or underground passages, making the installation process more efficient and reducing the risk of damage to the cables. Cable pulling ropes, made from high-strength, low-stretch materials like polyester or nylon, are known for their durability and ability to withstand the significant forces involved in pulling cables over long distances or through complex conduit systems. These ropes are specifically engineered to handle the tension and friction encountered during the pulling process, ensuring a smooth operation without compromising the integrity of the cable. Mule tape, on the other hand, serves a dual purpose. It is not only used as a pulling medium due to its flat profile and high tensile strength but also features measurement markings along its length, allowing workers to easily measure distances as they lay or pull cables. This feature is particularly useful in pre-planning the layout of cable runs and ensuring that cables are pulled the correct distance, minimizing waste and ensuring precision in installations. Mule tape's flat design helps reduce friction and prevents the cutting or snagging of conduit interiors, protecting both the conduit and the cables during installation. Both cable pulling ropes and mule tape are essential in a variety of applications, from setting up new electrical grids and expanding telecommunications networks to upgrading existing utility systems. Their use ensures that cables can be installed quickly, accurately, and without damage, a critical consideration in maintaining the reliability and efficiency of power and communication networks. Ohio Power Tool's selection of these products offers contractors and utility workers the quality tools needed to meet the demands of modern cable installation projects, supporting the construction and maintenance of infrastructure essential for today's connected world.
