This reminded me of a pressed sleeve failure on a wire rope that I once had
with a brand new Telrex beam. Since then I have not trusted them. Anyway I
think non-metallic Phillystran is a much better choice for a boom trusses, I
use stainless steel cable clamps with mine instead of Big Grips.

I also have used the alunimum double barrel press sleeves from Tractor
Supply. I have used them for Boom Supports and end post corner supports..
I have has failures on my f-12 30/40 meter beam the boom truss failed ☹
I have since gone back to the phillystran and SS cable clamps..
