Product Description

The CABAC Possum Guard Kit is an overhead cable protection sleeve designed to help prevent possums from travelling along exposed overhead cables and conductors.

Developed by CABAC and used by a range of authorities, the guard works by creating an unstable, swivelling jacket around the cable. When a possum attempts to walk along the cable, the rotating sleeve makes it difficult to maintain a stable footing, helping to deter movement along the line.

The PPG2 model features a 70 mm internal diameter and 800 mm length, making it suitable for larger overhead cable applications. It is made from low-density polyethylene and is secured in place using a cable tie.

Installation Instructions

  1. Prepare the possum guard
    Remove the possum guard sleeve from the packaging and check that it is clean and undamaged.
  2. Position around the cable
    Wrap the sleeve around the overhead cable or conductor in the area where possum access is likely.
  3. Secure the guard
    Use a cable tie to secure the sleeve in place. The guard should remain positioned on the cable while still being able to swivel.
  4. Check the installation
    Confirm that the possum guard is secure and able to rotate around the cable. The sleeve should create a slippery, unstable surface that helps prevent possums from gaining a stable foothold.

Suitable For

  • Overhead cable protection
  • Possum deterrent applications
  • Utility and authority installations
  • Larger cable applications requiring a 70 mm internal diameter guard
