Cable clamps are mechanical devices or clips that define a route for one or more cables along a building wall or within an instrumentation, control or other type of electrical enclosure. Smaller-scale cable clamps also exist, suitable for managing and routing insulated cables along a PCB board.
Considering this, what is a cable clamp?
Cable clamps are accessories for wire and cable. They are used to bundle, clip, clamp, label, guide, and protect wires and cables. Cable clamps are used in home construction, automotive, rigging, and many more industrial and manufacturing applications. The clamps are available in a wide variety of types and sizes.
In this regard, how much wire do you leave in an electrical box?
When electrical cables route from box to box, you must leave at least six inches of free conductor wiring in the junction box for connection purposes.
Turn back specified length of wire rope from thimble (please refer tables given below). Put first clip one saddle width from seized “dead end” (Figure 1). Seat “live end” (load carrying) of the wire rope in saddle and position U-bolt over “dead end.” Tighten nuts evenly to proper torque.
