Patent ID: 10705301

Abstract:
A cable clamp for clamping drop cable clamp assemblies to main span cables. The cable clamp has a body that includes a main span cable guide and holders for supporting one or more drop cable clamp assemblies. The body has a lower body half and an upper body half. The lower body half is movable relative to the upper body half between an open position and a clamping position. When the body is in a clamping position the lower body half and upper body half of the main span cable guide form a main span cable cradle. A stem extends through the lower body half of the main body section and is releasably secured to the upper body half of the main body section such that rotational movement of the stem is translated to movement of the lower body half relative to the upper body half. The stem has a collar and a spring is positioned on the stem between the collar and the lower body half of the intermediate body section to normally bias the body to the clamping position.
