RE: The Cable Koala "During recent Military trials we compared the Cable Koala to existing aerial cable installation methods to determine whether there were any benefits to the Australian Army. For simplicity sake it is a quantum leap in what we currently have in defence at the moment. The Cable Koala is utilised with the current in-service strain relievers, which means that is readily compatible with the current commication networks and battlefield satellite systems."

I found that the Cable Koala was easy to deploy and served the purpose of an anchoring/termination device extremely well. I was especially impressed with the fact that members who were out on their first exercise were able to fix line to it with ease and minimum effort. From a personal opinion I feel that the Cable Koala could very well be implemented as a tool for cable runs and I see it as the perfect way to keep cable junctions neat, tidy and professional. The cable Koala was able to be used with great effect by all members of the Line Team regardless of experience and skill levels.

Having seen the Cable Koala in use I think that it is a very good product with a lot of potential both in urban environments as well as in bush environments. After a few small changes I think that the Cable Koala will be very useful to any linesmen in both the ADF and civilian life. I put my full confidence in this product and think that it will be very successful and the way ahead for the linesman trade.

The Cable Koala definitely has a lot of potential for the installation of BTN and other outdoor field cable, with some minor adjustments to the retaining clips possibly to include different types of attachments eg: a turnbuckle, a gate clip or a hook-like device. I also think that the clips and strap should be made from stronger materials. Having seen the Cable Koala in action I feel that it is a reliable and useful piece of gear that will fulfill a requirement for a temporary fixing device?

CABLE KOALA ENDORSEMENT The Cable Koalas themselves are a very simple but highly effective design, they can be adapted to suit any requirement that may be needed? The ?Cable Koala? that was created by SIG Gillam, has proven to be a very versatile and practical cable routing piece of equipment. Prior to Talisman Sabre Sig Gillam showed me some of the areas that he believed that the ?Cable Koala? could be used, and explained a few more. To an ECN 346 the obvious solutions provided by a ?Cable Koala? are a central distribution point such as the type used in Brigade line work, and heavy back bone cable road crossings. There are endless ways in which it can be adapted when combined with turnbuckles, Strain relief assemblages, and Don10 to suit a large majority of cable requirements. During exercise Talisman Sabre, we had a chance to test the ?Cable Koala? in an urban environment when we encountered a very high road crossing, that we had to run a fifty pair cable across.
