Installed over a manhole or intermediate access point, this heavy-duty sheave allows fiber cable to lead up, wrap smoothly around the drum, and continue into the next conduit section without tight angles or excessive tension. The free-spinning design eliminates binding, reduces stress on the cable, and ensures a smooth, controlled transition across conduit offsets.

Perfect for long pulls where conduit sections do not line up precisely — this mid-assist tool bridges the gap and protects your fiber investment.

Key Benefits 

Protects Fiber Integrity 
Reduces sharp angles and friction on fiber during pulls — preventing fiber damage.

Smooth Mid-Point Guidance 
The free-spinning sheave on a stable stand lets fiber lead up and gently around the drum, maintaining even tension through directional changes.

Durable, Lightweight Construction 
Aluminum alloy drum offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio for easy transport and field setup.

Free-Spinning Sheave Drum 
Allows fiber to move with minimal friction and rolling resistance.

Wide Working Diameter 
32 in. diameter drum meets many cable manufacturer’s bend ratio guidelines while minimizing bending stress.

Typical Applications

✔ Long-distance fiber pulls between manholes 
✔ Conduit sections with off-center entrances 
✔ Locations requiring bend relief at mid-points 
✔ Fiber and cable placement with minimal crew
