Anchoring Clamp for 2/4 Core LV ABC Cable

Key Features

  • Available in two models: TX-PA2/35 and TX-PA4/35
  • Designed for anchoring 2-core and 4-core ABC cables
  • Self-adjusting wedge system for firm cable grip
  • Suitable for low-voltage overhead distribution networks
  • UV-resistant polymer body for outdoor durability
  • Hot-dip galvanized steel parts for corrosion resistance
  • Controlled tightening torque of 22 Nm
  • Easy installation on poles or walls using hooks or brackets
  • Helps protect conductor insulation during clamping
  • Long service life for distribution network applications

The TX-PA2/35 and TX-PA4/35 anchoring clamps are designed for the tensioning and anchoring of low-voltage aerial bundled cable (ABC) on poles or walls using standard hooks, brackets, or similar fittings. These clamps are suitable for distribution networks where reliable mechanical holding strength, insulation protection, and fast installation are required.

The TX-PA2/35 is intended for 2-core ABC cable, while the TX-PA4/35 is designed for 4-core ABC cable. Both models use a self-adjusting wedge principle that grips the conductors firmly while helping protect the insulation from excessive stress. Their construction combines UV-resistant glass fiber reinforced polymer parts with hot-dip galvanized steel components for strong outdoor durability.

These clamps are developed for long-term service in overhead distribution systems and help simplify installation work through controlled tightening and easy conductor positioning.

Construction & Materials

The TX-PA2/35 and TX-PA4/35 clamps are built with durable materials selected for mechanical strength, insulation protection, and long-term outdoor use.

Main construction includes:

  • Clamp body/wedge housing: UV-resistant glass fiber reinforced polymer
  • Mechanical arms / load-bearing parts: Hot-dip galvanized steel
  • Fastening system: Shear-head nut and bolt arrangement for controlled tightening
  • Internal gripping structure: Self-adjusting wedge design for firm conductor anchoring
  • Cable channels: Separate conductor paths to help distribute load evenly and reduce insulation stress

Material advantages:

  • Polymer parts provide weather resistance, UV stability, and electrical insulation support
  • Galvanized steel components deliver high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance
  • The combined structure helps ensure secure cable retention, long service life, and reduced maintenance needs in outdoor distribution networks.

Installation Guide

  1. Prepare the Clamp – Unscrew the shear-head nuts to open the clamp body.
  2. Insert Conductors – Place each conductor of the ABC cable into its respective channel.
  3. Close Clamp – Close the clamp body and ensure the conductors are seated properly in the wedge grooves.
  4. Tighten Nuts – Hand-tighten the shear-head nuts, then torque to 22 Nm to secure the clamp.
  5. Mounting – Attach the clamp to the pole or wall using standard hooks, brackets, or supplied hardware.
  6. Verify Installation – Ensure all conductors are secure, evenly distributed, and insulation is protected.
  7. Final Check – Confirm the clamp provides proper tension and load distribution for the cable span.

Notes:

  • The TX-PA2/35 is for 2-core cables, the TX-PA4/35 for 4-core cables.
  • Designed for LV ABC lines up to 1 kV.
  • Suitable for dead-end, anchor, and tension points in overhead distribution networks.
