CW-SWC: 2-6 Aluminum Wedge Clamp For Aerial Cable

Product Overview: CW-SWC Series Aluminum Wedge Clamp

Model:​ CW-SWC

Type:​ 2-Hole / 6-Hole Aluminum Service Wedge Clamp

Application:​ Dead-Ending & Suspension for Self-Supporting Aerial Drop Wire

1. General Description

The CW-SWC Aluminum Wedge Clamp​ is a robust and reliable solution designed for the dead-ending and suspension of self-supporting service drop wires. Engineered for utility linemen and contractors, this clamp provides a secure termination point for aerial cables, effectively managing the tension and sag inherent in overhead spans.

This versatile hardware can be installed at any point along the span and is compatible with a wide range of conductors, including Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR), All Aluminum Alloy Conductors (AAAC), and solid aluminum conductors. It is designed to be securely fastened to a utility pole via ceramic insulators or directly to the pole using appropriate mounting hardware.

2. Key Features & Benefits

• Effective Sag Control:​ Specially designed to mitigate the pressure caused by overhead cable sagging, ensuring a stable and taut installation.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance:​ Manufactured from high-grade aluminum alloy, offering excellent protection against oxidation and environmental degradation, making it ideal for long-term outdoor exposure.

• High Mechanical Strength:​ Provides exceptional tensile strength to withstand line tension without deforming, while simultaneously preventing the conductor from bending or kinking at the termination point.

• Secure Grip Design:​ The internal wedge mechanism firmly locks onto the conductor, creating a powerful friction grip that prevents slippage under load.

• Quick & Easy Installation:​ Tool-free or minimal tool installation allows for rapid deployment in the field, reducing labor time and costs. The design allows the load-bearing cable to pass through the clamp body effortlessly before tightening.

• Versatile Compatibility:​ Available in multiple sizes (2-Hole & 6-Hole configurations) to accommodate various conductor dimensions and installation requirements.

4. Installation & Usage Notes

• Mounting:​ The clamp body must be securely attached to the utility pole structure. It is recommended to use this clamp in conjunction with ceramic insulator clamps (spool insulators) to maintain proper electrical clearance.

• Cable Engagement:​ Insert the conductor through the designated passage. As tension is applied, the internal wedge mechanism tightens, wrapping around the cable core to form a permanent, non-slip hold.

• Application Scope:​ Suitable for low-tension dead-ending applications in distribution networks and service drops.

5. Product Summary

The CW-SWC Aluminum Wedge Clamp combines rugged durability with simple functionality. Its lightweight yet strong aluminum construction ensures longevity and performance in harsh weather conditions, while its intuitive design guarantees a secure connection for critical overhead cable infrastructure.
