Abstract
A cable pulling tension calculation software program is developed which draws friction coefficients from a curve input by the user. Examples show how predicted tension and sidewall pressure vary with the coefficient of friction dependence on cable normal pressure. The software is intended as a “what-if” tool to help installation planners develop better approximations of cable pulling tension
