c. Cable Chokers
Cable chokers are used when the anchorage
they are being connected to will not be
damaged by the cable in the case of a fall,
such as structural I-beams, or when the
choker will be left in place and subjected to the
environment for an extended period of time.
Installing Cable Chokers
1. Pass cable over structure with choker ends
dangling on either side. Pass the small
O-ring on one end through the larger O-ring
on the other end. Pull small O-ring to tighten
(choke) the structure.
2. Continue to pass the extended cable end
around the beam or other anchor until
there is not enough length left to make
another complete revolution. Then “choke”
the anchor by passing the smaller O-ring
through the larger. The small O-ring will
become the anchorage point for a complete
fall protection system.
While it is preferable to make several
turns of the cabling around the anchorage
before “choking” it, in cases where a lower
anchorage connection is needed the
connector can be choked with only one turn
around the beam before passing the small
O-ring through the larger O-ring. This is
also a convenient way to adjust the length
of the choker slightly.
3. Connect fall protection system to the small O-ring.
