A grounding clamp includes a safety lock-out which locks the operation of the clamp in the absence of a hot-stick. A clamping member cooperates with a frame having an arm, and is selectively biasable by a user to translate the clamping member relative to the frame to clamp a conductor between the clamping member and arm. The lock-out cooperates with the clamping member to prevent the translation of the clamping member unless in the presence of an insulating tool such as a hot-stick.

Clamps and methods disclosed herein can help to provide efficient electrical communication between a first conductor and a second conductor. An example clamp includes a main housing portion that includes a first surface, a second surface, a body, and an insert, the insert providing electrical communication between the first surface and the second surface; a clamp member; and a fastener.

Various implementations of grounding cross connectors are disclosed. The grounding cross connectors may be used to clamp together two or more, often perpendicular, conductors. In some implementations, a grounding cross connector includes an upper clamping pad and a lower clamping pad held together by a pair of threaded fasteners. A pair of perpendicular conductors may be placed in between the clamping pads and secured together by torqueing nuts on the threaded fasteners. The upper clamping pad may include a hook through which one of the threaded fasteners may pass, thereby allowing the upper clamping to rotate relative to the lower clamping pad.

An integrated opposite hook cable clamp includes a clamping plate, a connecting plate, and at least two J-shaped clamps. Side bars of the J-shaped clamps are locking bars. Locking holes corresponding to the locking bars are provided on the clamping plate, and at least two of the locking holes are diagonally arranged on the clamping plate. The locking bars of the J-shaped clamps vertically pass through the locking holes on the clamping plate and are movably connected with the clamping plate by a locking mechanism. A back surface of the connecting plate is lap-jointed to the inner sides of hooks of each of the J-shaped clamps. A front surface of the connecting plate is opposite to a front surface of the clamping plate (22).

An apparatus and method for splicing single pair ethernet (SPE) cables. By creating a T shaped intersection, the splicing device allows for sensors and other devices to run perpendicular in relation to the original cable. The splicing device further enables the cable to have multiple drop points along the cable.
