As lacing requires a learned skill and takes time it has been replaced over the past twenty years or so with the dreaded Ty-Wrap a cable crushing non-supporting flesh slashing method of lashing for dummies.
We are not far from the days when a walk between the lineups will be a trek through a gauntlet where one seldom exits without a few good slashes to ones body.

Wayne Since I'm curious, what IS the correct way to dress, lace, and terminate LV cable? Or can you point me to a text document? (the pics obviously do no good...  )

That's a quick rundown; there are other styles, but in a nutshell, it involves waxed cotton string; time, and care... |

| IMO it's worth noting lacing unlike Ty-Wraping not only securely holds the cabling without crushing it also supports the cabling by binding them to each other and the frame which is something a Ty-Rap cannot do.

| Indeed Wayne.
I have come across a few places where I see lacing coming back into the world now that we are more reliant on high-speed data. Ty-wrap methods of securing those cables are so damaging that they cause a loss in throughput, or damage fiber optic cabling. |

For my current employer, power has to be laced; signal
cable can be laced or ty-wrapped (my crews lace it all - I'm a dick like that - sorry...)
I've worked for companies that insisted on all lacing; and one RBOC I did some work for in the Southern US, insisted on all ty-wraps!?! Oh well, that's what they want, that's what they get... |
