Round Cable Drop Clamps
Overview
Round cable drop clamps secure and support aerial cables on poles, towers and other mounting structures. Also known as drop-wire or cable-support clamps, they provide mechanical retention along overhead routes.
Design and Grip
Depending on the model, a metal or plastic housing incorporates gripping features such as serrated jaws or spring-loaded arms. These arrangements help hold the cable securely while allowing straightforward installation and adjustment.
Cable Protection
By supporting the cable and distributing its load, the clamp reduces local stress and helps control excessive tension or sag. Secure retention also limits movement associated with wind, vibration and other external forces.
Cable Compatibility
Different sizes accommodate a range of round cable diameters and cable constructions. Select the clamp that matches the cable dimensions and the requirements of the installation.
Mounting
Suitable brackets, screws or straps can be used to attach the clamp to a pole or supporting strand, depending on the selected assembly.
