A false dead end is a structure designed to create a visual dead end on a line that actually continues. It creates an illusion, providing the appearance of a dead end. This is to discourage climbing by humans and animals. False dead ends work in areas where the transmission lines need to change direction. They help a line to change direction smoothly while maintaining the appearance of a dead end. They are from materials such as steel, aluminum, galvanized steel and composite materials. These materials help them to resist corrosion and increase durability. False dead ends also find use in ADSS and OPGW in data communication.

Design structure of the false dead end

The design of the false dead end varies depending on various factors. These include specific requirements, environmental conditions and safety. The design aims to create a seamless transition in the transmission line’s direction. It also helps to balance between functionality, safety and visual deception. Its design also incorporates several key components to achieve its purpose. The following is a breakdown of the false dead end design.
