Figure 8 Cable Suspension Clamp (FTTH Aerial Clamp) – PGP Suspension Clamp

Key Features

  • Dual-Side Clamping Design: Provides secure grip and balanced load distribution.
  • Tool-Free Installation: Quick and simple setup reduces labor time.
  • Cable Protection: Inner insert prevents damage to the cable jacket and messenger.
  • Wide Compatibility: Supports multiple messenger diameters with dual grooves.
  • Weather Resistant: Performs reliably in UV, humidity, and temperature extremes.

The Figure 8 Cable Suspension Clamp is engineered to securely suspend and support figure-8 fiber optic cables in short-span aerial FTTX deployments. Designed for reliability and ease of installation, this clamp ensures stable cable positioning while protecting the messenger and optical fiber from mechanical stress and environmental damage.

Its dual-groove clamping system accommodates a wide range of messenger sizes, while the UV-resistant thermoplastic insert prevents cable abrasion. Combined with galvanized steel components, the clamp delivers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term outdoor performance—even in extreme weather conditions.

This Figure 8 clamp is an ideal solution for telecom operators seeking efficient, tool-free installation and dependable cable support across distribution networks.
