Two-Pass Placement

Two-pass placement method involves hanging and lashing the distribution cable to a pre-existing
cable or a dedicated messenger in two passes. The reel is typically loaded onto a trailer that is placed
at the field side end of the run. The technician pulls off the CO end of the cable, starts hanging the
cable on blocks, and then progresses towards the CO end of the run. See Figure 12. Once the
complete cable is hung, the technician returns to the field side end of the cable and begins the lashing
operation, removing the blocks as he progresses. See Figure 13. When a TAP over mold is reached,
the lashing machine is lifted past the over mold and tether and strand are secured before continuing.
