The FIBERLIGN Cushion Clamp uses a combination of structural reinforcing rods (SRR) and elastomer inserts at the ends of the clamp halves to protect the OPGW from damage at support points.

  • Reduces negative effects of wind-induced cable motion, such as aeolian vibration, galloping, and sway

  • Can accommodate either left-hand lay or right-hand lay OPGW

  • A galvanized 1/2"-13 x 3/4" UNC bolt and lock washer are provided with one of the clamp halves to attach a ground wire assembly with a terminal lug to it for bonding OPGW to the supporting structure or a ground lead

  • Each clamp half has two factory-installed elastomer cushion inserts to minimize stress at clamp ends

  • Clamp halves have a machined central groove that ensures a proper fit and provides electrical continuity

  • Clamp halves are secured with two captured 1/2"-13 galvanized steel U-bolts

  • Clamp halves and SRR are high-strength aluminum alloy. Fastening hardware is galvanized steel.

  • An optional ground wire assembly can be included with the cushion clamp

  • SRR cannot be reused after they have been installed. Hardware components can be reused as desired if they are in good condition.

  • The FIBERLIGN Cushion Clamp has been thoroughly tested for vibration, mechanical loading, and optical attenuation in accordance with IEEE Standard 1138 and IEEE Standard 1591.1
