Yup that's a fact. We're in a "heavy" ice zone.
...All the more reason to try and understand why one cable should be
spec'd 3x stronger than another. If that's a factual claim, then I want it.

You'll also want to make sure you factor in the ice loading for your
region - that can have a pretty noticable effect on your maximum span

Their web page is saying long term tensile strength of 1200N.
Corning ST drop cable has a similar type of strength member and
they say 400N.
At 1200N it would appear that I could hang that cable 600 feet
with a 1% sag and I'd still be within strength limits.
So is this a lie like the horsepower on a shop vac, or could they
be using some alternate but valid way of measuring tensile
strength, or could it actually be correct?
I sometimes pretend I'm an engineer, but I'm wondering if any of
you real engineers out there have any insight.
Thanks,
Adam
