Mounting using the Spacing messenger-cable hanging method
The Spacing method is used to hang the node on a messenger-cable using extended brackets. The
extended brackets leave a gap between the node and the messenger-cable to accommodate any cables
or wires that may be strung adjacent to the messenger-cable preventing use of the Flush method.
