A wire connection system for providing electrical communication between a first conductor and a second conductor includes a housing having a sidewall, a housing surface, and a housing channel. The sidewall extends between a first end and a second end and at least partially encloses a housing chamber. The connection system further includes at least one jaw supported for movement within the housing chamber and configured to engage the first conductor. The connection system further includes a clamp member at least partially disposed within the housing channel, the clamp member including a clamp surface proximate the housing surface in a facing relationship. The connection system further includes a linear actuator coupled to the housing and movable along a longitudinal axis, the linear actuator coupling the housing and the clamp member and movably coupled to the at least one jaw.

A clamp provides electrical communication between a first conductor and a second conductor. The clamp includes a first housing portion having a first surface, a second surface, a first housing bore, and a cavity, the first housing bore extending along a longitudinal axis. The clamp further includes a clamp member at least partially disposed within the cavity of the first housing portion, the clamp member including a first clamp surface adjacent the second surface of the housing in a facing relationship. The clamp further includes a shaft oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis, the shaft coupling the first housing portion and the clamp member. The clamp further includes a second housing portion movably coupled to the first housing portion by the shaft, the second housing portion including a second housing bore and a second clamp surface, the second housing bore aligned with the longitudinal axis, the second clamp surface adjacent the first surface of the first housing portion in a facing relationship.

A cable clamp for clamping drop cables to main span cables. The cable clamp has a body that includes an elongated drop cable guide, an elongated main span cable guide, and main body section between the drop cable guide and the main span cable guide. The body has a lower body half and an upper body half. The lower body half is movable relative to the upper body half between at least one open position and a clamping position. When the body is in a clamping position the lower body half and upper body half of the drop cable guide form a drop cable opening, and the lower body half and upper body half of the main span cable guide form a main span cable opening. A stem extends through the lower body half of the main body section and is releasably secured to the upper body half of the main body section such that rotational movement of the stem is translated to movement of the lower body half relative to the upper body half. The stem has a collar and a spring is positioned on the stem between the collar and the lower body half of the main body section to normally bias the body to the clamping position.

The present invention discloses a manual type C-shaped wire clamp operating device, includes an insulating operating rod, wherein an upper end of the insulating operating rod is provided with a threaded rod, and the threaded rod includes an upper thread and a lower thread; a wire clamp clamping device, wherein the wire clamp clamping device includes a first spring, a wire clamp seat and a floating clamping block located above the wire clamp seat, a wire clamp seat threaded hole is formed in the wire clamp seat, the wire clamp seat threaded hole is in fit connection with the lower thread of the threaded rod; a drainage wire pressing device, wherein the drainage wire pressing device includes a guide rod arranged on the wire clamp seat and a drainage wire pressing block sliding along the guide rod, and a pressing block threaded hole is formed in the drainage wire pressing block.
