Outdoor cable tensioners

[kevhughesbeams]

Hi,
Looking for some advise on suitable cable tensioners to support overhead feed from main dwelling to an outbuilding. Distance is approx 30 feet and cable will be 2.5mm T&E. Any guidance on suitable suppliers of equipment to help fix and support cable greatly received.
Thanks

Is there really any point mentioning such things? I got the impression from the OP that he wasn't even going to put a catenary up and was looking to just fix the T&E at each end the same as an overhead line.

To be honest I recon he’s a builder or farmer wanting free advice. I don’t believe his profile.
More than once I’ve seen bricks ripped out of walls due to bad anchorage.

As far as I’m concerned he can do what he wants.

No insulation break down after 20+ YEARS.

swa with catenary wire built in is what you need. otherwise h07n black flex would work on catenery wire but swa would be best

What about SY cable?

Googled it and not a good idea. Forget I asked.

Screwfix can supply wire bits and flexible conduit to run cable in !. Cable can be T&E with secondry protection. Cable ties fitted every 30-60cms. Cable should have RCD protection, earthing and proper heights.

^^ not sure I would run T&E like this.......

Why go to all the trouble to run T+E through flexible conduit when you can just use armoured? Beggars belief.

I normally wouldn't BUT sometimes it's already there and you might need to make safe, it's an option.

Use split concentric, far lighter than armoured cable and suitable for outdoor use. Attach with a curly wurly at each end, fast and neat.

Why RCD protection? And what secondary protection does it need?
