What is a cable clamp?

Cable clamp is used to secure a wire or cable on site. These clamps are commonly used in holding, associating or transporting cords, conductors and other similar objects. Cable clamps are used on all types of cables and cables, from very small diameter of consumer electronics and telephone wires to large diameter, heavy electrical connection, rope and metal cables. There are a number of types and sizes of terminals. The cable clamp can be purchased in steel, stainless steel and many durable plastics. The use of the cable clamp eliminates the need to use adhesive tape, cable links and hooks and loops such as Velcro® that are not permanent and can have several shortcomings such as adhesive the rest that has left the tape.

ENING that allows the user to spread the terminal around the wire or cable and an extension flange with holes for a nail or screw to ensure the clamp to the surface. This type of clamp is available in steel, stainless steel and plastic and usually has a padded packet pRO wire protection. The plastic clamp is the most economical, but has limited strength in possession. For heavy -duty applications that require greater strength and durability, a metal cable clamp should be used.

Another common type of cable terminal is known as a U-screw clamp. They are also called cable stops and are used for equipment for equipment rather than to ensure electrical wiring. The clamp consists of a U-shaped screw with threaded endings, clamps with two holes that pass U-screw, and two nuts. For the use of this clamp are usually placed two ropes inside the U -shaped screw, the clamp Both nuts are installed to tighten to secure the ropes together and prevent slip. In applications where high voltage or force will be applied to the cable, more clamps are usually used to provide additional slip protection.

cable clamps come with manyAnd with various functions such as adhesive pad to mount clamps on the surface, range of colors and even own labeling. There is a repeatedly usable cable clamp and is usually designed with quick release functions for easy connection and opening manually. Some clamps allow you to increase or reduce the graspable force so that the clamp does not exceed and causes damage to sensitive cables and conductors such as fiber optical lines.
