Ah.....the stuff I'm looking at is labeled ADSS and it has a
non-metallic strength member under the outer jacket. The pole
attachment hardware is an aluminum clamp with a rubber grommet. It just
squeezes the cable.
Like this guy:

I can understand twisting a figure-8...that makes sense.

Are you talking about figure-8 cable?

Yes, don't make it all pretty between poles. Put twists in it.

Huh....you mean literally grab the cable and twist it before
clamping it into the holder? Or do you mean coils?
I'm looking at a place where I'm confident there will be no need
for more strands during my lifetime.
Upsides I'm guessing are simpler installation? Cheaper?

It dances in the wind unless you give it several twists in
each span. Plus, on larger strand type deployments, you
cannot come back and lash more cables to the same strand.
Other than that it has some nice upsides.

Is there any downside to self supporting cable?
