Our FTTB product range includes drop wire anchoring clamps and drop wire mounting fittings.
We offer a variety of optical fiber drop wire clamps that can be easily selected based on the mechanical resistance and diameter of the cable wire messenger.
How to install a Drop Wire Clamp?
To install the cable, begin by laying it in the shell and placing the shim on top of the cable using the raised embossing against the cable.
Next, insert the wedge into the shell on top of the shim and engage it by pulling. Make sure that the small end of the wedge is engaged in the track of the large end of the shell. You can then place the bail wire on the B drop wire hook using the loose wedge.
Once the bail wire is in place, pull the drop wire through the clamp until the proper sidewalk or alley clearance is achieved. Finally, grasp the clamp and pull it tightly to secure it. You can also refer to our video for a visual guide on the installation process.
Types of Drop Wire Clamps
Drop wire clamps consist of two types:
- Wire wrap type
- Compression type
Both of the types require that the clamp does not get degraded by the signal quality through damaging the signal being carried in the cable or the insulation.
