Short answer: ABC fittings should be selected by aerial bundled cable size, function, mechanical load, pole interface, insulation requirement and installation environment.
| Suspension clamp | Supports ABC cable on intermediate poles. Confirm cable bundle diameter and bracket interface. |
|---|---|
| Wedge tension clamp | Anchors ABC cable at dead-end or angle points. Confirm cable size and tensile load. |
| Piercing connector | Connects service or branch cable without stripping main cable insulation. Confirm conductor size and voltage rating. |
| ABC bracket | Mounts clamps to poles or walls. Confirm bolt, banding and load requirement. |
ABC fittings should not be selected only by cable name. Bundle diameter, load and pole interface must be confirmed.
