Supporting overhead CAT6 SWA

AncientMariner
Would CAT6 SWA cable require any additional support if used for say a 5 metre overhead span?


I have seen what looks like either split-con or concentric cable used overhead without no obvious support wire.


If suitable, what are the best options to support the two ends.


Thanks.

    should be fine.

    A spiral wrap wire  is the usual, in such a way that the SWA passes by the anchor with gentle bending.

    The thin ones for BT are called 'curley wurley' by the wiremen. The formal titles are wire grips.


    At a push it is possible to make one with a coathanger.

    Or a cable tension sock


    And a couple of hook plates.
