One of the primary uses of the drop wire clamp is for dead-ending round drop cables on poles and buildings. Dead-ending refers to the process of securing the cable to its termination point. The drop wire clamp allows for a secure and reliable connection without exerting any radial pressure on the cable's outer sheath and fibers. This unique design feature provides an additional layer of protection for the drop cable, minimizing the risk of damage or degradation over time.
Another common application of the drop wire clamp is the suspension of drop cables at intermediate poles. By using two drop clamps, the cable can be securely suspended between poles, ensuring proper support and stability. This is particularly important in situations where the drop cable needs to traverse a longer distance between poles, as it helps prevent sagging or other potential issues that could affect the performance and longevity of the cable.
The drop wire clamp has a capacity to accommodate round cables with diameters ranging from 2 to 6mm. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of cable sizes commonly used in telecommunications installations. Additionally, the clamp is designed to withstand significant loads, with a minimum failing load of 180 daN. This ensures that the clamp can withstand the tension and forces that may be exerted on the cable during installation and throughout its operational lifespan.
