ICEA P-79-561:2013 is a standard guide that provides assistance in selecting aerial cable messengers and lashing wires for both field and factory-assembled, self-supporting aerial cables. The guide emphasizes the importance of using cables that are suitable for the specific service requirements and have been manufactured and tested in accordance with applicable ICEA Standards. Furthermore, the installation of these cables should adhere to the relevant provisions of the National Electrical Code (NFPA-70) and/or the National Electrical Safety Code/ANSI Standards Publication No. C2.

It is important to note that this standard guide does not cover all possible configurations of messengers. For applications such as service drops and neutral support, other publications should be referred to.
