What types of cables can the Eagle Lasher install?

The Eagle Lasher is sized to install:

  • CATV cables
  • Fiber optic cables
    It supports both single-cable and bundled-cable installations commonly used in Last Mile and FTTH projects.

What is the cable capacity of the Eagle Lasher?

The Eagle Lasher has:

  • A bundle capacity of up to 2-1/4 inches
  • A single cable capacity of up to 2 inches
    This makes it suitable for most Last Mile and FTTH cable lashing jobs.

Can the Eagle Lasher perform single and double lashing?

Yes. The Eagle Lasher is capable of single-lash and double-lash installations, giving operators flexibility depending on job requirements and cable configurations.

How much does the DCD Eagle Lasher weigh?

The Eagle Lasher weighs approximately 25 lb, which is significantly lighter than many lashers in the same size range. Its reduced weight helps improve handling, reduce operator fatigue, and speed up installation.

Why is the Eagle Lasher lighter than other lashers?

The lightweight design is achieved through careful material selection and precision CNC machining, without compromising durability or performance in demanding field conditions.

Does the Eagle Lasher require traction from the strand?

No. Like all DCD lashers, the Eagle does not rely on strand traction. Instead, it uses the tension from the lashing wire to drive rotation, ensuring smooth and consistent lashing.
