Messenger Wire – Spacer Cable Systems Description: Messenger wire is the support member of the Hendrix Spacer Cable System. Two types of messenger wires are available. Alumoweld-Aluminum (AWA) messenger wire has aluminum clad steel strands and 1350-H19 all aluminum strands. Alumoweld (AW) messenger wire has all strands made of aluminum clad steel. Benefits: • Provides protection from falling branches • May be used as the system neutral • Provides lightning protection when properly grounded • Better corrosion resistance than galvanized steel wire Application: AWA messenger is recommended in most cases because it has high strength and high conductivity. AW messenger is recommended when a higher strength messenger is needed. Messenger wire is pulled in and tensioned prior to conductor installation.

Messenger Wire Spacer Cable Systems

Description:Messenger wire is the support member of the Hendrix Spacer Cable System. Two types of messenger wires are available. Alumoweld-Aluminum (AWA) messenger wire has aluminum clad steel strands and 1350-H19 all aluminum strands. Alumoweld (AW) messenger wire has all strands made of aluminum clad steel.

Benefits: Provides protection from falling branches

May be used as the system neutral

Provides lightning protection when properly grounded

Better corrosion resistance than galvanized steel wire

Application:AWA messenger is recommended in most cases because it has high strength and high conductivity. AW messengeris recommended when a higher strength messenger is needed. Messenger wire is pulled in and tensioned prior toconductor installation.
