I know what they are and do not need one for pulling thru conduit. But I
would like a clean way to support the 70' of cable going up to the top of my
DX-70 telescoping tower.
The question is if it is bad form to put more than one cable into the grip.
I understand that the braid will not fully contact any one cable. The only
reason to consider mor than one per grip is that they seem to cost over $30
each.
Any alternate common method to support cables would be appreciated. I
suppose good tape on top section is always an option. Using one RG217, one
rotator cable and one 24 conductor for DB36 control.
A rope wrapped around the cable and itself for a lot of turns (like how
you do steps on a rope ladder, or a hangman's noose, it has a name, but
I can't remember it). Sort of like a prussik knot. Choose a rope that
will tolerate the environment. It relies on the friction at multiple
points. I found one example:

Also an Icicle hitch looks similar.
Ah, here it is, a pipe hitch.
Thanks.
