SWAN-FLIGHT™ Diverter
The SWAN-FLIGHT Diverter (SFD) is designed for use on conductor/strand to create greater visibility for avian flight paths on overhead lines and tower down guys. For construction up to 230 kV, the SFD can be applied to phase conductors (bare or jacketed). For EHV, it is typically installed on the shield wire. The diverter section increases the visible profile of the cable to a degree necessary to alert wildlife, but avoids an undesirably bulky outline and increased loading on the line.
-
Increases visibility where large, slow-moving bird flight paths are present
-
Lightweight, economical, and easily applied
-
Positive grip prevents product from moving along the span
-
Long service life without deterioration of material properties
-
Minimal wind resistance
-
Manufactured from gray or yellow rigid, high-impact PVC with UV protection
-
Applicable for voltages below 230 kV
-
Semi-conductive version available for 230 kV applications
-
Meets UL 94 V-0 flammability requirements

WARNING: The SWAN-FLIGHT Diverter should not be applied on phase conductors energized at voltages of 345 kV and above.
Gray is the standard color. For Yellow, add -Y after the Catalog Number.
Add suffix -B to the catalog number for black, semi-conductive layer for applications @230 kV (EX.: SFD-2460-B)
