Note: These same hanger spacing recommendations apply for the other following 1 5/8 in cable types: HJ7-50A, AVA7-50, AL7-50 * These hanger spacings have been specified based on using the Click-On Hangers with Andrew specified hardware kits. (Note: Standard tower configuration spacing is 3 to 4 ft) Definitions and Assumptions 1. Per EIA-222 Standard: Coefficient of drag for coaxial cable is 1.2 (cylindrical members). Ice forms completely around member (360 degrees). Combined wind and ice loading is reduced by 25% to reflect lower probability of wind and ice occurring simultaneously. 2. Wind speeds are maximum, which includes gust factors and exposure factors.
