What position should the trailer be in to avoid cable rubbing during pulling?

The correct position for the trailer to avoid cable rubbing during pulling is when it is in line with the strand, at twice the distance from the pole. This setup minimizes the angle at which the cable exits the pole, ensuring a smoother pull with less friction against surfaces that could cause rubbing or damage.

By aligning the trailer with the strand and positioning it at a greater distance from the pole, the cable can run in a straight line, reducing stress on the cable itself and avoiding kinks or potential points of wear. This is a critical consideration in fiber installation, as maintaining the integrity of the cable during the pulling process is essential for ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the installation.

Other positions may introduce risk factors such as increased strain on the cable due to unfavorable angles or too close proximity to objects that could lead to abrasion. Therefore, the configuration of the trailer being aligned with the strand is the most effective method to safeguard against cable rubbing.
