Recently our Eagle Lasher has been gaining in popularity and now it’s gaining in functionality! The 61700 series Eagle Lasher, designed for a bundle capacity of 2-1/4″ or single cable up to 2″, was originally designed to lash CATV or fiberoptic cable using metallic (stainless steel) lashing wire. With a few design modifications, the Eagle Lasher will now accommodate non-metallic wire.
Non-metallic wire has the advantage of being non-conductive, and because it’s made from a softer aramid strand, it’s easier to pull the lasher when lashing. Normally a lasher tension adjustment mechanism is required to pull this type of lashing wire, but since the Eagle lasher doesn’t have a rotating magazine cartridge, the bundle doesn’t carry any momentum and won’t continue to come out of the machine if you stop lashing suddenly. Future models of the lasher will be able to lash with non-metallic wire, however, if you already have a unit that you would like to use to lash non-metallic wire, a retrofit is possible. Contact us for more information.
In addition, we’ve also introduced a new non-metallic wire bundle size of 900ft to work with the Eagle Lasher. The part number is 61040-009. This bundle size is slightly smaller than our 1000ft bundle, but will also fit the Lineman Lasher if this is the length you prefer.
