Abstract: A cable hook for securing a cable comprises an elongated body member having a longitudinal aperture generally rectangular in cross-section formed therein and provided on one sidewall with two oppositely tapered surfaces, a cable receiving slot formed between an outer surface of the body member and the aperture for laterally inserting a portion of a cable into the aperture against one wall opposed to the tapered sidewall, a second aperture extending through the body member at approximately right angle to the first aperture, first and second wedge members located in the longitudinal aperture and each provided with an inner surface adapted to engage the cable and an outer tapered surface matching one of the tapered surfaces in the longitudinal aperture and adapted to slide thereon, and a third wedge member insertable in the second aperture and having tapered surfaces for driving the first and second wedge members in opposite direction along their associated tapered surfaces for clamping the portion of the cable
