The 5/8 in. size is extremely convenient when working with innerduct sizes below 1 5/8 in. in diameter
The design of the breakaway swivels incorporates a replaceable tension bolt that joins the barrel eye and swivel body. The bolt separates when pulling loads on the cable reach +/-5%. The damaged bolt can then be replaced in seconds using an Allen Wrench (included) and screwdriver.
The swivel and bolt head are color-coded for fast load identificationGMP uses a steel thrust washer and bushing in the larger break-away swivel and four (4) ball bearings in the smaller version. Both designs provide smooth rotation under load and help to keep twisting forces from reaching the cable.
The smaller break-away swivel, 5/8 in. x 3 1/4 in. (15.9mm x 95.2mm) is made of steel with a zinc plating finish for wear resistance. 
With the inclusion of Fiber Optic cable in new OSP designs for broadband construction such as FTTx, you can choose from our list of appropriate breakpoints matching the cable manufacturer’s specification. When ordering a swivel(s) please keep in mind the need to also order a few replacement bolts. This will avoid delays in work if the bolt supplied with the swivel(s) breaks. Delays can then occur while waiting for replacement bolt(s) to be ordered from the factory.
