For a crank up, fold over tower, my recommendation is a 5/16 inch diameter 'messenger rope' with the cables taped to it every 3 feet or so, with 3 feet of rope and 37 inches of cable. That way, the rope takes the strain off the cable.

Taping to the tower is a good idea and I do it about every three feet, 
but it does nothing to prevent vertical migration of the center connector.
