  • Patent number: 11967805
    Abstract: A tool for wrapping a formed wire around a cable is provided. The tool includes a handle portion and a head portion. The handle portion has an elongated body and a hand grip portion attached to the elongated body. The head portion has a cover pivotably attached to a base. When the cover is pivoted into contact with the base a cable receiving opening is formed between the cover and the base. The head portion also includes a pusher member extending from the cover or the base into the cable receiving opening. The pusher member is adapted to contact and push strands of a formed wire when the tool is in use.

  • Publication number: 20220413246
    Abstract: A clamp assembly includes a body having a jaw receiving cavity. A jaw actuator assembly is positioned within the jaw receiving cavity. A first jaw member is positioned within a first jaw guide associated with the body and the jaw receiving cavity and is operatively coupled to the jaw actuator assembly. A second jaw member is positioned within a second jaw guide associated with the body and the jaw receiving cavity and is operatively coupled to the jaw actuator assembly. The first and second jaw members are movable within the jaw receiving cavity between a loading position and a clamping position. The jaw actuator assembly moves the jaw members from the loading position and the clamping position. The clamp assembly applies sufficient clamping or gripping force on the fiber optic cable to hold the fiber optic cable without degrading or damaging the fiber optic cable resulting in signal loss.

  • Patent number: 10795108
    Abstract: A cable clamp for clamping drop cables to main span cables. The cable clamp has a body that includes an elongated drop cable guide, an elongated main span cable guide, and main body section between the drop cable guide and the main span cable guide. The body has a lower body half and an upper body half. The lower body half is movable relative to the upper body half between at least one open position and a clamping position. When the body is in a clamping position the lower body half and upper body half of the drop cable guide form a drop cable opening, and the lower body half and upper body half of the main span cable guide form a main span cable opening. A stem extends through the lower body half of the main body section and is releasably secured to the upper body half of the main body section such that rotational movement of the stem is translated to movement of the lower body half relative to the upper body half.

  • Patent number: 10705301
    Abstract: A cable clamp for clamping drop cable clamp assemblies to main span cables. The cable clamp has a body that includes a main span cable guide and holders for supporting one or more drop cable clamp assemblies. The body has a lower body half and an upper body half. The lower body half is movable relative to the upper body half between an open position and a clamping position. When the body is in a clamping position the lower body half and upper body half of the main span cable guide form a main span cable cradle. A stem extends through the lower body half of the main body section and is releasably secured to the upper body half of the main body section such that rotational movement of the stem is translated to movement of the lower body half relative to the upper body half. The stem has a collar and a spring is positioned on the stem between the collar and the lower body half of the intermediate body section to normally bias the body to the clamping position.

  • Patent number: 10649169
    Abstract: A cable clamp for clamping drop cables to main span cables. The cable clamp has a frame, a jaw assembly and a stem. The frame has a main body, a drop cable body and a main cable body. The jaw assembly is operatively coupled to the main body and has a drop cable jaw and a main cable jaw. The drop cable jaw is movable along the main body between an open position and a closed position. The main cable jaw is movable along the main body between an open position and a closed position. The main cable jaw can be automatically moved from the open position to the closed position. The stem is operatively coupled to the main body and the jaw assembly so that the stem can selectively block the main cable jaw in the open position and release the main cable jaw so that can automatically move to the closed position.

  • Patent number: 10557568
    Abstract: A multi-sided cable clamp for clamping drop cables to main span cables. The cable clamp has a central body and a plurality of cable holding assemblies. The plurality of cable holding assemblies are formed into or secured to a side wall of the central body. A coupling member having an eye is operatively coupled to or integrally formed into a bottom surface of the central body so that the eye can be coupled to an extendable reach tool.
