| Fall-Arrest Anchor Post: Works on Many Roof Designs The Miller Fusion Roof-Anchor Post is a single-point fall-arrest anchor that provides a temporary or permanent anchor without piercing the roof substrate. The Fusion anchor comes in several different models that are specially designed to work on a variety of roof designs, including standing seam, membrane, metal sheathing, concrete and wood. The ring mechanism is designed to rotate with the user’s position to prevent tangles, and a built-in energy-absorption system protects the structure during a fall.

| Underground Cables: Preventing Water Damage Hendrix Wire & Cable now is offering its Dual-Block system for stranded conductor cables. Dual-Block is designed to prevent water penetration in underground cables. A fill compound is applied along the conductor interstices to prevent longitudinal water migration, while a water-swellable powder is applied under the polyethylene jacket; these two materials work together to prevent water migrating along the neutral wires under the jacket.
