Tension clamps, also known as strain or dead-end clamps, are high-performance metal fixtures engineered to secure conductors and lightning protection wires. These critical components are designed to withstand significant tensile forces, ensuring the stable suspension of wires onto tension strings or towers in power and communication networks.
Depending on the operational requirements, our tension clamps are categorized into two primary types: non-conductive structural clamps (including bolt and wedge types) and dead-wire clamps that serve as both anchors and electrical conductors. From high-tension power lines to specialized ADSS optical cable installations, these clamps provide the essential stability needed for corner, splice, and terminal connections.

A tension clamp generally refers to the fixture securing the wire. A dead-end clamp specifically refers to the type that, in addition to bearing tension, also serves as an electrical conductor and cannot be disassembled once installed.
Yes, we provide specialized tension fittings for ADSS optical cables with spans up to 100 meters, featuring grip strength of no less than 95% of the cable's rated tensile strength.
We utilize high-grade aluminum alloys and spiral aluminum clad steel wire to ensure maximum strength without creating concentrated stress points on the conductor.
The choice depends on your installation conditions and whether you need the clamp to be removable. Wedge types often offer faster installation, while bolt types provide traditional heavy-duty security.
They are used at corner towers, splice points, and terminal connections where the wire must be anchored to tension insulator strings of non-linear towers.
Yes, specifically our designs using aluminum clad steel wire play a protective role in vibration reduction, which is crucial for the longevity of optical cables.
