....On that page they're calling it a "sho shoe".
Sho's what I know.
They sell a plastic form to wind up slack in the air. You can lace
the slack back and forth along an aerial run and use the form to
maintain bend radius at each end so you're not pinching it. The form
is called a snow shoe.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “snowshoe” vs “coil”, but
I know here we avoid anything that can flap in the wind. So a
service loop of several turns of excess cable will often be squashed
into a snowshoe shape and taped or ziptied to the pipe in several
places so it doesn’t flap. With the winds we get, especially in
winter, anything that flaps will eventually break.

It is less likely to be tampered with on a snowshoe. And you can
store a bunch of slack that way. Space them far apart and put lots
of turn on them. Much better than a coil.

I've seen slack just left in a coil on the pole, and I've seen it
done in a snow shoe.
I guess I'm gonna betray my ignorance here, because I don't
understand why you'd want a snow shoe. If it's ok to just leave a
coil on the pole, why would you /not /do that?
