Abstract: A gripper jaw (G) for a conductor gripper (GA) for a pair of electrical or optical conductors (L1, L2), such as wires, cables, cable bundles or optical fibers. The conductor gripper (GA) has at least one gripper jaw (G) which is movable, by a drive assembly, relative to a second, oppositely positioned gripper jaw. The gripper jaw comprises at least one plate (1) having a gripper surface (2). The at least one plate (1) having a gripper surface (2) is mounted so as to be rotatable relative to a section that is secured against rotation (3) about an axis that is orientated perpendicularly to the gripper surface (2) and extends substantially through a middle of the gripper surface (2). The fixed section (3) is connected to the drive assembly or constructed therewith.
