Product Specification: CWC-PRXS Series Drop Wire Clamp (1-2 Pair)

Overview

The CWC-PRXS Drop Wire Clamp​ is a critical component in aerial fiber optic and copper drop wire installations. Designed specifically for light-duty applications, this clamp securely supports single-pair and two-pair telephone or fiber drop wires. It is engineered to provide reliable dead-ending and suspension at span clamps, drive hooks, house hooks, and various wall-mounted drop attachments.

This clamp utilizes a robust wedge-and-shim mechanism to ensure a powerful grip on the conductor without damaging the sheath, making it ideal for both new construction and maintenance projects.

Key Features & Benefits

• Versatile Application:​ Accommodates both 1-pair and 2-pair drop wires, providing flexibility for technicians in the field.

• Superior Grip:​ Equipped with a serrated shim​ that maximizes friction and holding power on the drop wire, preventing slippage under tension.

• High-Strength Materials:​ Constructed from premium 5052 Aluminum Alloy​ for the main body, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance and structural integrity.

• Durable Components:​ Features tail wires (or bail) formed from 201/304 Stainless Steel, offering superior tensile strength and longevity compared to standard steel.

• Reliable Performance:​ Engineered to withstand significant loads, holding the wire firmly until the drop wire itself breaks or reaches a maximum load of 555 lbs (approximately 250 kg).

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of a 1-2 pair drop wire clamp?

A:​ Its primary function is to support and terminate aerial drop wires (both copper and fiber optic) at the point where the line connects to the customer's premises. It ensures the cable is held securely without sagging or detaching under environmental stress (wind, ice, etc.).

Q2: Why is 5052 Aluminum used for the clamp body?

A:​ 5052 Aluminum is chosen for its exceptional corrosion resistance, especially in outdoor environments, and its high fatigue strength. This ensures the clamp remains durable and rust-free throughout its service life, unlike cheaper carbon steel alternatives.

Q3: How does the serrated shim improve performance?

A:​ The serrated (toothed) shim bites into the jacket of the drop wire when tension is applied. This creates a mechanical lock that significantly increases the holding force, ensuring the wire does not slip within the clamp even under high tension.

Q4: Can this clamp be used with fiber optic drop cables?

A:​ Yes. While originally designed for copper telephone wires, the CWC-PRXS is fully compatible with modern FTTH (Fiber to the Home)​ drop cables, provided they fall within the 1-2 pair size range and are installed according to specifications.
