ABSTRACT:
An insulated clamp is provided for attachment to a cap or connector and for clamping a cable terminating in the cap or connector. The clamp includes an insulating lower cover for the cap or connector, a set of clamping cleats cooperating on ramps in the lower cover, and an insulating upper cover engaged with the lower cover by threads on confronting surfaces thereof. The lower cover has a generally tubular form and includes at its lower end an external hand gripping surface and internal means for attachment to and about the wire terminals of a cap or connector. The lower cover also has at its upper end a set of threads on an external surface and an internal set of ramps spaced radially around its inner periphery. The set of clamping cleats is mounted on a pliable band and the individual cleats have a double wedge form. The cleats are symetrically spaced around the band at stations matching the ramps of the lower cover. The upper cover has an external hand gripping surface and an internal threaded surface, the threads of which match the external threads of the lower cover. The upper cover also has an internal continuous ramp at its upper surface for cooperation with the upper wedges of the set of cleats. When the threads of the upper and lower covers are engaged and they are turned relative to one another, the cleats are forced inward by interaction of the ramps and double wedges to clamp a cable therebetween.
