Abstract

An anti-rotation device is provided for stringing a cable or wire while reducing a twisting moment of the cable or wire as it is strung. The device includes a tow component, having multiple tow sections pivotally connectable end-to-end. A plurality of insulated weighted tails are suspended so as to hang from the tow component. Each of the tails include weighted tail sections releasably connectable end-to-end to one another. At least one electrically insulated tail section is provided in each tail between the tow component and at least some of the weighted tail sections. The tails are constrained to only articulate relative to the tow component in the single plane of bending of the tow component.
