ADSS Anchor Clamp
Product Details
The ACADSS clamps are designed for dead-ending aerial ADSS cables on access networks where spans do not exceed 90 m. All parts are secured together to prevent any loss during installation. Different capacities are available to adapt to the cable diameter.
They consist of a conical body and wedges which hold the cables under tension while preserving the fibre properties.
Two models are available depending on the cable structure:
1- Compact series with 165 mm wedges for light ADSS cables up to 14 mm dia.
2- Standard series with 230 mm wedges for high fibre count ADSS cables up to 19 mm dia.

These clamps are used as cable dead-end at end poles for terminating the cable route (using one clamp).
Single dead-end using (1) ACADSS clamp, (2) Bracket
Two clamps can be installed as double dead-end in the following cases:
● At jointing poles
● At intermediate angle poles when the cable route deviates by more than 20°
● At intermediate poles when the two spans are different in length
● At intermediate poles on hilly landscapes
Double dead-end using (1) ACADSS clamps, (2) Bracket
Double dead-end for tangent support at angle route using (1) ACADSS clamps, (2) Bracket
Attach the clamp to the pole bracket using its flexible bail.
Place the clamp body over the cable with the wedges in their back position.
Push on the wedges by hand to initiate the gripping onto the cable.
Check the correct positioning of the cable between the wedges.
When the cable is brought to its installation load at the end pole, the wedges move further into the clamp body. When installing a double dead-end leave some extra length of cable between the two clamps.
