Cable Kinking A-3
A.3.2 Effect of Cable Kinking
The effect of kinking is shown in Figure A-4. The cable is permanently damaged
A.3.3 Result of Cable Kinking
The result of cable kinking is that strands and wires are displaced, creating uneven
tension which causes excessive wear at the point of the kink. The kink can be
straightened out so that the damage appears slight; however, since the relative
adjustment between strands has been disturbed, the cable cannot give maximum
service.
