The E Drop Wire Clamp secures telephone drop cables to wood or masonry surfaces in aerial and building-mounted installations. Standard across major telephone companies for one pair drop cables, it maintains cable position and prevents movement in residential and commercial telecommunications projects, including CATV applications.
The clamp is constructed from American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) 1018 steel, providing high tensile strength and resistance to deformation under mechanical loads and environmental exposure. Mechanical galvanizing per American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Specifications A153 and B695 applies a corrosion-resistant coating that enhances durability against moisture, chemicals, and other corrosive elements, extending service life in harsh field conditions.
Physical specifications include a 0.209-inch hole diameter for #8 to #10 screws and tabs spaced 3/4 inches apart for drop wire insertion. Three transverse ribs in the clamp radius provide positive cable hold while minimizing frictional contact to prevent insulation wear and abrasion.
Installation involves passing a screw through the pierced tabs to secure the clamp to the mounting surface. For masonry, a plastic screw anchor achieves stable attachment. The clamp mounts on drive hooks, span clamps, or house hooks, facilitating versatile setup across different installation scenarios.
