The TX-CT8 Multiple Drop Wire Cross-Arm Bracket is a heavy-duty pole mounting accessory designed for overhead telecommunication networks. It provides a reliable mounting point for drop wire clamps, anchor clamps, and dead-end grips used in fiber optic and telephone cable installations.

Manufactured from high-strength carbon steel and protected with hot-dip galvanization, the bracket offers excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental wear. Its multi-hole structure allows technicians to attach several cable accessories to a single pole, making it ideal for FTTH deployments and overhead distribution lines.

The CT8 bracket can be mounted on wooden, concrete, or metal poles using stainless steel bands with buckles or pole bolts. Its robust mechanical structure ensures long-term stability even in demanding outdoor environments.

Model TX-CT8 is widely used in telecom infrastructure projects where multiple drop cables must be supported efficiently from a single pole.

International Standard Compliance

The TX-CT8 bracket is manufactured in accordance with international quality and durability standards commonly used in telecom hardware production:

• ISO 9001 Quality Management Manufacturing Process

• ASTM A123 / ISO 1461 Hot-Dip Galvanization Standards

• IEC Telecom Hardware Guidelines for overhead line accessories

• RoHS Environmental Compliance

These standards ensure reliability, corrosion resistance, and consistent performance in outdoor telecom installations.

Construction & Materials

The CT8 cross-arm bracket is manufactured using cold-stamped carbon steel plates. Each plate is precision-punched to create multiple attachment points and then bent into its structural shape.

The manufacturing process includes:

1. Steel sheet cutting and stamping

2. Precision hole punching and forming

3. Mechanical bending and structural shaping

4. Surface treatment via hot-dip galvanization

This process results in a durable bracket with a thick zinc coating that protects against rust and environmental damage for long-term outdoor use.

Installation Guide

1. Select the appropriate mounting position on the pole.

2. Place the TX-CT8 bracket against the pole surface.

3. Secure the bracket using two stainless steel bands and buckles or pole bolts.

4. Tighten the bands using a banding tool to ensure firm fixation.

5. Attach drop wire clamps or fiber optic tension clamps to the bracket holes.

6. Confirm all fittings are securely fastened before installing cables.
