Guy wire built for robust power and fiber networks

Utilities and telecom networks are under pressure like never before. Grid modernization, storm hardening, fiber rollouts, and strict compliance requirements leave little room for failure. Guy wires play a critical role in keeping poles, towers, and masts stable – especially when conditions are harsh and timelines are tight.

Our guy wire solutions are designed to deliver long-term strength, corrosion resistance, and consistent, robust supply, helping you protect assets, meet regulations, and keep projects moving.

Reliable support for demanding utility and telecom builds

Bekaert guy wire is designed to stabilize free-standing structures across utility, telecommunications, and fiber broadband networks. From distribution poles and transmission towers to FTTH deployments, our guy wires deliver reliable performance under constant load, extreme weather, and tight regulatory requirements.

Manufactured in the USA and available with advanced corrosion-resistant coatings, Bekaert guy wire supports long service life, simplified compliance, and dependable supply – even in high-pressure project and storm-response scenarios.

7-wire EHS guy strand

The industry standard for utility and telecom applications, offering an optimal balance of strength, flexibility, and handling.

  • Extra-High Strength (EHS) construction
  • Commonly specified for distribution and transmission poles
  • Excellent fatigue resistance under cyclic loading
  • Available in key industry diameters, including ¼” and 5/16”
  • Compatible with standard pole line hardware and accessories

19-wire guy strand (specialized applications)

Used in higher-load or application-specific guying scenarios where additional flexibility or strength characteristics are required.

  • Multi-wire construction for specialized structural demands
  • Suitable for select transmission, tower, or engineered installations
  • Manufactured to meet applicable ASTM and ANSI standards
  • Available upon request for project-specific requirements

Corrosion-resistant coating options

Optimized to extend service life in environments where abrasion, corrosion, or both are present.

Bezinal® zinc-aluminum alloy coating

  • Enhanced corrosion resistance compared to traditional galvanization
  • Superior performance in coastal, humid, and industrial environments
  • Slower corrosion rates in aggressive exposure conditions
  • Extended asset life and reduced maintenance requirements

Zinc galvanized coatings

  • Class A and Class B (Class C available upon request)
  • Thicker zinc layers in Class B and Class C provide increased sacrificial protection
  • Well suited for environments where mechanical abrasion may occur
  • Proven performance across utility and telecom applications

Custom coil and reel lengths available upon request.

Longer service life, fewer surprises over time

Corrosion is one of the leading causes of premature guy wire failure – especially in coastal, humid, or industrial environments where atmospheric exposure accelerates material breakdown.

 

 

Bezinal® coating combines zinc and aluminum to provide enhanced resistance to atmospheric corrosion compared to traditional galvanization. It performs especially well in environments with sustained moisture, salt exposure, and airborne pollutants.

In coastal regions, where salt exposure may be combined with wind-driven sand abrasion, coating selection should reflect the dominant exposure condition. Bezinal® is optimized for corrosion resistance, while thicker galvanized coatings such as Class B or Class C may offer additional sacrificial protection where abrasion is the primary concern.

 

 

What this means for you:

  • Extended service life in corrosion-driven environments

  • Slower degradation in humid and salt-exposed conditions

  • Reduced inspection and replacement cycles when corrosion is the main risk 

  • Lower total cost of ownership over the life of the asset 
     

For developers and asset owners, selecting the appropriate coating for the environment doesn’t just reduce maintenance – it helps preserve asset value and minimize long-term performance risk.

Engineered for stability in demanding environments

Guy wires are a critical structural element, especially in regions exposed to hurricanes, straight-line winds, ice loading, and uneven terrain. Bekaert guy wire is manufactured to meet or exceed applicable ASTM, ANSI, and CSA standards, ensuring consistent mechanical performance across every strand.

 

Our controlled manufacturing process delivers:

  • High tensile strength for demanding load conditions

  • Uniform strand construction for predictable performance

  • Resistance to fatigue under cyclic loading

 

Designed to integrate seamlessly into your system

 

Bekaert guy wire is engineered to work with commonly used pole line hardware and installation components, including:

  • Preformed grips and dead ends

  • Shackles and anchors

  • Thimbles and wire rope clips

  • Turnbuckles and tensioning hardware 

 

This compatibility reduces on-site adjustments and installation variability, supporting faster, more reliable deployment – particularly important when labor availability is limited or stabilization needs to happen quickly.

 

Whether you’re stabilizing tall transmission towers, reinforcing heavily loaded distribution towers, or securing temporary structures during emergency restoration, our guy wire delivers dependable support when it matters most.

Simplify sourcing for BEAD-funded and regulated projects

Regulatory compliance is a project-critical requirement. Bekaert guy wire is made and melted in the USA, helping utilities, distributors, and contractors meet Buy America and BABA requirements, including those tied to BEAD-funded broadband projects.

By sourcing domestically produced guy wire, you reduce regulatory complexity and lower the risk of delays caused by non-compliant materials – especially in publicly funded or highly audited projects.

Compliance without the complications

  • Eliminates the need to manage parallel domestic and import inventories

  • Reduces compliance risk and administrative burden

  • Supports faster approvals for publicly funded infrastructure projects

  • Protects project timelines, funding eligibility, and contract milestones

Domestic production also enables tighter quality control, shorter supply chains, and greater responsiveness when demand spikes – all critical advantages in large-scale rollouts and time-sensitive work.

Built for traceability and audit confidence

BEAD-funded and regulated projects often require clear documentation, traceability, and proof of compliance throughout the supply chain. Bekaert’s USA made and melted production model supports:

  • Clear country-of-origin and melt documentation

  • Consistent product identification and paperwork

  • Greater confidence during audits, inspections, and project reviews

This reduces back-and-forth during procurement and helps teams move from approval to installation with fewer interruptions.

Simpler inventory, fewer operational headaches

For distributors and contractors, domestic compliance also simplifies day-to-day operations. A single, compliant supply source reduces SKU complexity and helps avoid tying up working capital in duplicate inventories.

That means:

  • Easier forecasting for phased or multi-year projects

  • Less risk of material rejection late in the project lifecycle

  • More predictable sourcing for long-duration infrastructure programs 
     

Greater stability in a changing trade environment

Domestic manufacturing also reduces exposure to trade policy shifts, tariffs, and import restrictions. In an environment where regulations and trade conditions can change quickly, sourcing USA made and melted guy wire helps protect budgets, availability, and long-term project planning.

The result is greater certainty – not just at the point of purchase, but across the full lifecycle of the project.
