Abstract: A ceiling wire clamp device secures ceiling wire in place in a suspended ceiling system without the need for twisting and/or overlapping the wires. The device comprises a pair of jaws, which may be lined with teeth, that grasp and hold ceiling wire in place when the device is in a closed and locked position. The device may be pinched closed. A tab inserted through a slot on the device assists in locking the device in the closed position. A pin may be used to optimize the overall alignment of the device when in the closed and locked position. The device may be opened using a screwdriver or the like.
