External BT phone cable plate/acnhor/hook?

[hvendlor]

I want to run an exterior grade overhead phone cable from one building to another(across my land), does anyone know what type of plate, bracket or hook to use to secure the cable to the exterior of the building? and where to purchase?

There is a difference between regular external telephone cable (designed to be clipped to buildings, run in ducts etc) and dropwire (designed to hang in the air). Make sure you get the latter

Also be very careful about forces invovled when tensioning the cable, apparently BT guys always tension cables from the pole end because of some accidents involving ladders being pulled away from the wall when working on tensioning phone cables.
