Usage
A pulley support is different from a suspension or anchor attachment. With an appropriate mechanical tension, the line/cable is hold by a vertical accessory and maintained at a proper distance of the support without any clamp to fit them. The cable can move and the support is designed to follow it with a moving part (mandatory). The usual groove wheel for such pulleys can be replaced by an appropriate insulator in case of bare power conductors. A pulley on which the line is terminating is an actual anchor and shouldn't be confused with this value.
