Chart
Cable pulling route risk diagram
Map pulling route risk points around reels, sheaves, bends, rollers, sidewall pressure, and jam-prone transitions.
Does not approve a pull plan, calculate final tension, select lubricant, or replace cable manufacturer instructions.

Pull route risk points
Use the route map to decide which bends and setup points need arithmetic or manufacturer review.
Check reel setup, feed angle, grip length, and handling limits.
Use the route calculator and lubricant assumption instead of guessing.
Check sidewall pressure, jam ratio, and bend radius against manufacturer limits.
Protect jacket, minimum bend radius, and final termination handling.
Decision table
Show where pulling tension and sidewall pressure risks arise before users run the cable pulling calculator.
Scroll sideways to keep row labels aligned with hidden columns.
| Condition | Chart reading | Next check | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long straight run | Friction accumulation matters | Cable pulling calculator | No pull approval |
| Multiple bends | Sidewall pressure can govern | Sidewall pressure table | No bend approval |
| Large cable or parallel set | Grip, jam, and reel handling matter | Grip and reel source links | No handling plan |
| Lubricated pull | Friction coefficient is an assumption | Lubricant compatibility table | No product approval |
Notes
- Treat this chart as a planning and conversation aid only.
- Confirm current utility requirements, product markings, manufacturer instructions, and local authority requirements before field work.
- Use the linked calculator or table when the task needs project-specific arithmetic.
