CWC-SF: Drop Wire Clamp1-2 Pair

Product Name: CWC-SF Drop Wire Clamp (1-2 Pair)

Model No.:​ CWC-SF

Type:​ Flat Cable Clamp

Material:​ Galvanized Steel Body with 430 Stainless Steel Bail

1. Product Overview

The CWC-SF Drop Wire Clamp​ is a robust, heavy-duty fastening device designed for securing 1-pair or 2-pair telephone drop wires. Engineered for reliability, this clamp is essential for connecting drop cables to span clamps, drive hooks, and various drop attachments in aerial telecommunications networks. Its primary function is to provide a secure grip on the drop wire, ensuring stability until the cable reaches its breaking point or a specified maximum load.

2. Detailed Description

This drop wire clamp consists of three main components: a durable galvanized steel shell, a precision-formed wedge, and a high-tensile stainless steel bail wire. The design incorporates a specialized serrated shim that bites into the cable jacket, significantly increasing friction and preventing slippage under tension.

The assembly is engineered to hold the drop wire firmly without slippage. Under stress, the clamp maintains its grip until a sufficient load is applied—either to the point of cable failure or up to the clamp’s maximum rated capacity of 555 lbs (pounds). This ensures predictable performance and safety during installation and service.

3. Key Features & Benefits

• High-Strength Bail Wire:​ The bail is formed from 430 Stainless Steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and superior tensile strength for long-term durability in outdoor environments.

• Enhanced Gripping Power:​ Equipped with a serrated shim​ that maximizes the hold on the drop wire, effectively preventing any movement or creep.

• Superior Load Capacity:​ Rated to withstand loads of up to 555 lbs, ensuring the clamp holds securely until the drop wire breaks.

• Corrosion Resistance:​ The galvanized steel shell provides a protective layer against rust and environmental degradation, extending the product's service life.

• Versatile Application:​ Universally compatible with standard span clamps, drive hooks, and other common drop hardware.
