Suspension Clamp

A suspension clamp is a fitting that is designed for suspending or hanging cables or conductors to the pole. In other cases, the clamp can suspend cables to the tower.

Since the cable is directly connected to the conductor, its specifications need to match with that of the cable so as to create a perfect connection.

A suspension clamp hangs the cables at different points and angles depending on the requirements of the project.

Uses and Applications

While the primary use of suspension clamp is to suspend hang or suspend a conductor, there are other roles that it plays. A suspension clamp protects the conductor during the installation of the transmission line onto the pole.

The clamp also provides a mechanical connection by ensuring that there the right longitudinal grip on the transmission line. Suspension clamps also control the movement of cables against external forces such as wind and storm.

From the above listed uses, suspension clamp is applicable in different projects that have conductors hanging from poles. The most common applications are electrical pole overhead lines and telephone transmission lines.
