Since the prior art adopts a method of installing a single loose-bundle external cable, the construction time is long, and during the lifting process of a single steel strand 8, the steel strand 8 is prone to breakage and fall from a high altitude, thereby increasing the risk of construction. In the present application, a plurality of loose-bundle steel strands 8 are combined into a whole-bundle external cable 8 to achieve one-time lifting. By this method, The installation period of the separate outer cables is shortened to one day, the installation efficiency is improved by 20%-40%, and multiple steel strands 8 are fixed by anchors to prevent the steel strands 8 from breaking and falling from high altitude during the lifting process, which greatly improves the safety factor of the construction. The cable body steel strands 8 in the present application can be unbonded steel strand harnesses, and the unbonded steel strand harnesses can be made of smooth steel strands, hot-dip galvanized steel strands, and monofilament epoxy-coated steel strands. In the present application, monofilament epoxy-coated steel strands are selected, and the thickness of the epoxy layer is controlled at 0.4mm-0.55mm. A PE protective layer can also be added to the outer surface of the epoxy-coated steel strands, and the thickness of the PE protective layer is not less than 1.5mm.

[0025] In order to strengthen the fixing effect of the fixed end of the steel strand 8, further, the fixed end anchor includes a fixed end anchor plate 3, the fixed end anchor plate 3 is provided with a plurality of anchor holes for the steel strand 8 to pass through, the anchor hole is composed of a straight hole and a tapered hole, the larger opening of the tapered hole is toward the side where the steel strand 8 is inserted, the taper of the tapered hole is 5°-7°, the aperture of the straight hole matches the diameter of the steel strand 8, and the aperture of the straight hole selected in the present application is 17.5mm-20mm; it also includes a clip 2, the clip 2 is sleeved on the steel strand 8, the outer surface of the clip 2 is a tapered surface adapted to the inner surface of the anchor hole, the clip 2 is embedded in the anchor hole, so that the clip 2 can effectively clamp the steel strand 8, and the anchoring rate coefficient can reach above 0.95.

[0026] In order to make the clip 2 lock the steel strand 8 more firmly, the fixed end anchor further includes a clip pressure plate 1. The clip pressure plate 1 is located on the side of the fixed end anchor plate 3 where the steel strand 8 passes through. The clip pressure plate 1 is connected to the fixed end anchor plate 3 through upper and lower end locking devices 6.
