Leviton Telcom L8518-100 Pull Grip Strain Relief

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM L8518-100 is a pull grip cable strain relief designed for double-wave load distribution across cable diameters ranging from 2 to 2.5 inches. This hardware accessory is used to support, secure, and relieve mechanical stress on cable during installation and long-term service. It is typically installed at conduit entry points, cable trays, or overhead support structures where lateral and longitudinal cable loads must be managed. Electrical contractors and low-voltage installers use this type of grip to protect cable jackets and terminations from pull forces during wire pulls and after final placement.

This pull grip strain relief is suited for structured cabling, telecommunications, and electrical distribution applications where cables in the 2 to 2.5 inch diameter range require secure mechanical support. It is commonly used in commercial and industrial environments at conduit entrances, cable tray endpoints, or messenger wire applications. The double-wave design distributes grip load evenly across the cable surface to reduce jacket deformation and maintain cable integrity throughout the installation.

Key Features

• Accommodates cable diameters from 2 to 2.5 inches
• Double-wave construction distributes pull load evenly across the cable jacket
• Functions as both a pull grip during installation and a strain relief in final application
• Single-unit packaging for per-location installation planning
• Designed for hardware accessory applications in structured cabling and electrical distribution

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hardware accessory for use with round cables measuring 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter in telecommunications and electrical cable support applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or low-voltage cabling technicians following applicable NEC guidelines for cable support and strain relief. De-energize all circuits and confirm the cable is slack before attaching the grip to avoid jacket damage. Ensure the grip is mounted to a rated support structure capable of handling the full cable load. Do not exceed the cable diameter range specified for this grip, as an improper fit can compromise holding strength and damage the cable jacket.
