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?
It would seem that is the OPs intent....Make sure you use an external gradfe telephone cable ...

When I did my apprenticeship with BT, to tension from the house we ran the dw over a pully and pulled down.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.
Maybe, but is that observation particularly relevant some 12 years on?When I did my apprenticeship with BT, to tension from the house we ran the dw over a pully and pulled down.
Again I have no idea how/why I was reading an old post...Maybe, but is that observation particularly relevant some 12 years on?

Fair enough, but I still think these comments are of somewhat limited relevance to the 12-years-old OP's questionIt serpently is. .... So I devised a gadget, to help make it easier - a pulley.
