Tension clamps, also widely known as strain clamps or dead-end clamps, are professional-grade metal fixtures engineered to secure conductors and lightning protection wires. These critical components are designed to withstand intense tensile forces, ensuring that wires are firmly anchored to tension strings or towers, thereby maintaining the structural integrity and stability of power and communication networks.
Depending on the installation requirements, these clamps are categorized into two primary types: non-conductive structural supports that can be removed after installation, and dead-end clamps that serve as both a tension-bearing anchor and an electrical conductor. From high-strength bolt and wedge types to specialized fiber optic cable fittings, our tension clamps provide reliable anchoring for corners, splices, and terminal connections.

| Project ROI | Baseline | Optimized (Lower OpEx) |
Type 1 clamps are primarily used for mechanical support and can be removed after installation. Type 2 clamps, known as dead-end clamps, serve both as a tension anchor and an electrical conductor, making them permanent installations.
Our specialized optical cable tension fittings are designed to provide a grip strength of no less than 95% of the rated tensile strength of the optical cable.
They are essential for non-linear towers, corner towers, and cable towers where wires must be anchored securely to withstand directional tension.
It provides extremely strong tensile strength and eliminates concentrated stress, which serves a critical protective role in vibration reduction for ADSS optical cables.
These tension clamps are typically suitable for ADSS optical cable lines with a span of 100 meters or less.
Yes, both bolt-type and wedge-type tension clamps are commonly used for corner, splice, and terminal connections in power and communication distribution.
