Build America Buy America - Messenger Strand

Steel messenger wire is a robust, high-strength wire used in telecommunications to support overhead cables and maintain their structural integrity. It acts as a tensioning element, ensuring that communication lines remain stable and properly aligned, especially over long spans. The use of steel messenger wire is essential for the durability and reliability of telecommunication infrastructure. This ties into the Build America Buy America (BABA) initiative by promoting the use of domestically produced materials in infrastructure projects, thereby supporting American manufacturing and creating jobs. By prioritizing American-made steel messenger wire in telecommunication installations, BABA not only enhances the resilience of communication networks but also reinforces the commitment to strengthening the U.S. economy through local sourcing and production.

Messenger Wire

Messenger strand and lashing wire is a common and reliable method for aerial fiber optic cable deployment. A steel messenger is a stranded steel cable that acts as a support structure to which fiber optic cable is tied (lashed) by way of steel lashing wire. The steel messenger acts as a structure that supports the weight of the fiber. This document describes further details of messenger strand, lashing wire, and the planning and installation process.
