A tension clamp is a mechanical fixture used to anchor fiber optic cables—particularly ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cables and drop cables—at points of high mechanical stress, such as terminal poles, angle poles, or dead-end poles. FO-VC2 JOINT USE - VERICAL MIDSPAN CLEARANCES 48. Correct clamp selection prevents span instability and premature cable damage. In FTTX aerial networks, ADSS cables are deployed between poles without metallic support wires. The special design of the preformed wire ensures that ab cable. The FIBERLIGN Suspension uses a combination of structural reinforcing rods (SRR), outer rods, housing halves, and resilient inserts to reduce compression, clamping, and bending stresses on OPGW and the optical fibers within it. SRR and outer rods cannot be reused. A body belt and safety strap for the bucket or platform must be used when the equipment i ulled around a piece of hardware under tension.
