ABSTRACT:
A cable clamp includes first and second jaws, each having a respective cable clamping portion and tail. The first jaw is pivotably mounted to the second jaw to move between a cable receiving open position, in which a cable can be inserted between the cable clamping portions, and a cable clamping closed position, in which the cable is clamped between the cable clamping portions. A first opening is formed in one of the tails, and a raised boss is formed on the other of the tails. This raised boss is positioned to fit within the first opening when the jaws are in the closed position, and the raised boss includes a threaded opening. A threaded fastener is mounted in the threaded opening, and this threaded fastener applies closing forces on the tails as the threaded fastener is rotated into the threaded opening, thereby moving the jaws to the closed position.
