ANCHOR CLAMPS
When building new overhead electric or subscriber lines, anchor clamps are used, which greatly facilitates and speeds up installation. There are several types of such fasteners. An anchor clamp for self – supporting insulated wire is a device designed to fix the wire between firmly fixed supports. The anchor clamp has been used outdoors for a long time, so the main focus in its design is on strength.
01
ABOUT US
The system of electrical cables is fixed using a special clamping mechanism called an “anchor clamp”. It is the main element of linear fittings for all types of self-supporting insulated wires. The task of the fastening device is to create optimal tension of the SIP cable when sliding, fixing, wind pressure, preventing sagging under the influence of additional gravity and longitudinal loads in case of icing.
Suspended electrical wires running between poles, buildings, and other supports are attached with clamps.
They fix the wire at the beginning and end of the cable route, in case of a sharp change in direction, in case of a turn of the line, in case of a difference in height between the pillars.
VIEWS
Anchor clamp is divided into several types, they differ in shape, strength characteristics. These types include:
Wedge-shaped
The wiring is attached between two plastic wedges. These fasteners can also be used for laying fiber-optic subscriber cables. It is very simple and easy to install, and is inexpensive. But if you need to secure the wire at very long intervals, it is not suitable, because it can slip off. This can lead to sagging and damage to the SIP.
Stretch
This is a special type of wiring attachment, very reliable, it is used to install various cables on the line. Thanks to its special design, it dampens vibrations from the wind and securely secures the clamping wiring.
Supportive
It is used to make sure that the wiring is not sagging and that the cable is being laid in a room under the ceiling. This usually prevents the wires from sagging, helping them last longer.
CHARACTERISTIC
Aluminum-based alloys, galvanized steel or very strong thermoplastic resins are used in the production of clamping equipment for self-supporting insulated wiring, and one of the features of the clamp is that it cannot be repaired. If it fails, it must be replaced.
01.
Easy and fast installation
No special training of specialists is required during the work, and this significantly reduces the time spent on laying power lines.
02.
Security
The mounting design is very well thought out, which reduces injuries to employees and cable damage during installation.
03.
Ability to save money
Thanks to its simple and reliable design, material consumption is reduced during the installation of the electrical network.

Our excellent-quality tension clamp, suspension clamp, suspension cable clamps, tension cable clamps, and wedge type clamp help our cable installers be confident with their connections. Our years of research on our product ensure that what you get is the best in its class.
US Communication Service continues to partner with you and help you move forward in the direction where you want to be. Our dedicated staff and engineers work at the best of their abilities to ensure a premium-quality product that you can rely on when the going gets tough. USCS has committed itself to being with your every step of the way.
USCS High-Performance anchor clamp
We understand how high-performance anchor clamps help secure electrical and fiber optics cables. That is why our premium-quality tension clamp, suspension clamp, suspension cable clamps, tension cable clamps, and wedge type clamp adhere to the most rigid quality control to ensure that our clamps are installed in the field all of your connections are fastened securely.
Our high-performance anchor clamp holds it steady as soon as you secure electrical cable and fiber optic cable on a utility pole. It can withstand powerful winds and bone-chilling frost that would compromise the cable’s integrity and tensile strength. And the best part, you can mount and secure your cables in our anchor clamp using only your hands. There is no need for an extensive set of tools, just a few twists, and turns of your hand, and it’s ready for use.
We made all of our anchor clamps from high-quality plastic resistant to both high and low temperatures and ultraviolet (UV) light. The polymer wedges ensure it is locked and secure the cable in place and the hot galvanized steel loop helps you ensure that intense pressure won’t compromise the wires that were locked securely inside.
H3 tension anchor clamp
If you are searching for a wedge-type clamp that would secure your cable connections, we recommend giving our H3 tension anchor clamp a try. This H3 tension anchor clamp helps you connect in place ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) fiber optic cable, electric cables, and figure-8 cables with an external load-bearing element.
The H3 tension anchor clamps secure round cables with a diameter of 0.15 to 0.275 of an inch or 4-7 millimeters. Using our H3 tension clamp, we are confident it fastens the line without worrying that you might expose the cable or the separating supporting element. We guarantee it would not damage the sheath underneath it.
Cable installers call our H3 tension clamp in different terminologies, like wedge type tension clamp for cable suspension, dead-end clamp, wedge fastening clamp, anchor clamp, etc.
H6 tension anchor clamp
We used the H6 tension anchor clamp for round cables with a bigger diameter of 0.23 to 0.35 of an inch or 6-9 millimeters. Like its H3 counterpart, the H6 anchor clamp secures ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) fiber optic cable, electric cables, and figure-8 cables with an external load-bearing element.
We guarantee this H6 tension anchor clamp would fasten cables without exposing the cable’s separating supporting element. Both our H3 and H6 tension anchor clamp assure you it wouldn’t damage the cable’s sheath. The H6 UV-resistant body, made of frost-resistant plastic, and a polymeric wedge, locks securely in place with a secured cable, even with an intense pressure pulling it in all directions.
We would like you to watch how our anchor tension clamps like the H3 and H6 hold their ground while an intense pressure pulls the cable until it snaps. But the good thing is, even if the pressure compromised the clamp, the cable that was secured inside it was not damaged.
Use the suitable clamp for the right cable size
With our anchor tension clamps, you can fasten two types of cables, like the circular cross-section cable and the type-8 cables. Both H3 and H6 cable clamps allow you to use them using only your hand. Securing the electrical and fiber optic cable on a utility pole is convenient, provided you have it supported with hooks, brackets, and others.
Please refer to this information on the recommended tension clamp for the right cable size for your guidance and reference.
-
- H3 is for a round table with a diameter of 0.15 to 0.275 of an inch or 4-7 millimeters.
- H4 is for oval or flat cables with a diameter of 0.15 to 0.31 of an inch or 4-8 millimeters.
- H6 is for a round cable diameter from 0.23 to 0.35 of an inch or 6-9 millimeters.
- We use both H3 and H6 for self-supporting aerial cable, ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) fiber optic cable, and figure-8 suspension cable with an external load-bearing element with a diameter of 0.15 to 0.35 of an inch or 4-9 millimeters.
H3 and H6 Technical characteristics
- Both have maximum spans between fastening points of 262 feet or 80 meters
- Both have a working load of up to 1.4 kN.
- Both have a breaking load of 1.8 kN.
- Their loop thickness is up to 0.915 of an inch or 5 millimeters
- Both can withstand an operating temperature of 40 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit or -40 degrees to 60 degrees Celsius.
- Extreme weather disturbances like frosting, hurricanes, falling trees, and branches may damage our clamps, but it does not mean it would also incur damage to the cable. The high-quality material construction of our clamps ensures your cable would still continue to operate under extreme conditions.
- The wedges ensure an even distribution of load on the cable sheath that helps reduce mechanical stress on the cable, protecting it from tearing when subjected to increased load like the occurrence of icing, strong winds, falling branches, and other mishaps.
