About Preformed Line Products

A preformed dead-end wraps around the cable and grips it along its length, which gives a clean termination without clamps. For arborists installing steel cabling in trees, or guying newly planted or leaning trees, that means quicker installs and fewer loose parts.

Grips are sized to a specific strand diameter and type, so match them exactly to your cable. Install them per the manufacturer's directions and the applicable best management practices for tree support systems, and do not reuse grips beyond what the manufacturer allows.
