Description
Anchor Clamps for ADSS Cable are designed for dead-ending aerial ADSS cables on access networks when span do not exceed 100m. And different capacities are available to adapt to the cable.
These anchor clamps with open conical body form a jaw with two plastic wedges engineered to grip onto the cable and a flexible bail equipped with a thimble. The bail can be locked onto the clamp body once passed through the pole bracket and re-opened by hand at any time when the clamp is not under full load.
All parts of ACADSS Anchor Clamp are secured together to prevent any loss during installation.
The ACADSS C Anchor Clamps are used for dead-ending applications of aerial round fiber optic cables with ADSS structure on cross-arms or pole brackets. This range is compatible with cables Ø from 6 to 14mm, with HDPE insulation on distribution networks up to 90m spans.
Main Features
- Dead-ending of 6 to 20 mm ADSS cables
- Minimum breaking load of 500/600 daN
- Installation on any pole hardware fitting: brackets, cross-arms or eye bolt with a min eye Ø of 15 mm
- 4kV thimble as standard. 11 kV thimble available
- All plastic parts are UV resistant and tested in conditions
- equivalent to min 25 years of service in tropical environment
Advantages:
- Light and compact products
- Easy, quick and safe dead-ending
- Installation takes seconds
- The flexible bail provides an extra protection to the cable against vibrations
- 4 kV or 11 kV insulation provided

Applications
Anchor Clamp Application:
These clamps will be used as cable dead-end at end poles (using one clamp).
Two clamps can be installed as double dead-end in the following cases:
- at jointing poles
- at intermediate angle poles when the cable route deviates by more than 20°.
- at intermediate poles when the two spans are different in lengths.
- at intermediate poles on hilly landscapes.
Installation
Anchoring Clamp Installation Instructions:
When the cable is fully tensioned, the wedges move further into the clamp body and grip onto the messenger outer sheath
- The clamp is attached to the pole fitting by means of its bail.
- The clamp body is placed over the cable with the wedges in their back position.
- Push on the wedges by hand to initiate the gripping onto the cable.
- Check the correct positioning of the cable between the wedges.
- When the cable is brought to its installation load at the end pole, the wedges move further into the clamp body. When installing a double dead-end leave some extra length of cable between the two clamps.
