Same as any other guy material, more or less. Since it has the same
breaking strength as equivalent sizes of EHS, it isn't any more or less prone
to sagging than EHS.
Phillystran Preformed grips should be installed with end sleeves also
known as ice caps. They prevent accidental grip unravelling as ice travels
down the guy to the anchor.
