A dead-end clamp assembly for a utility conductor includes a clamp body having a base with a front end and a rear end, a first jaw guide extending from the base, and a second jaw guide extending from the base. The base, first jaw guide, and second jaw guide at least partially define a trough. A first jaw movably engages the body and a second jaw movably engages the body. The first jaw engages the second jaw such that the first and second jaws move together. A sag eye extends from the clamp body. The sag eye has an opening configured to receive a hotstick. A clevis connector extends from the rear end of the clamp body. The clevis connector is configured to receive a clevis pin so that the clevis pin is positioned below the trough.

A joint-use bracket (JUB) for installing multiple communication lines in a joint-use section on a utility pole is disclosed. The JUB includes a curved plate having a generally rectangular shape elongated in a longitudinal direction and curved along a lateral direction. The curved plate is formed to have one or more attachment holes, one or more slots, and multiple threaded receiving holes. The JUB also has multiple hooks formed contiguous to the front surface of the curved plate, each hook having a threaded through hole, wherein multiple bolts are associated with the multiple hooks, respectively. Each hook is configured to hold a wire or a cable through a D-shaped opening that is formed by the hook and the bolt when the bolt is screwed in through the threaded through hole to have the end portion engaged with the threaded receiving hole.

A grounding system, structured to ground a number of cables supported by a support assembly, includes a multi-function line assembly and a number of conductive mounting assemblies. Each conductive mounting assembly is structured to be coupled to the multi-function line and to a conductive pile.

A cable-clamp system includes a clamp and a base structure located within an electronic chassis. The base structure includes an upper region, a first side region, and a second side region. The upper region includes a plurality of cable-receptor cavities for receiving the cables. The first side region includes an opening, and the second side region includes a slot. The clamp includes an engagement surface, a first end, and a second end. The first end includes a hook for insertion into the opening to allow pivoting movement of the clamp relative to the base structure. The second end includes a plunger for retention within the slot. When the clamp pivots downwardly to cause the engagement surface to engage the cables, the plunger is retained within the slot to maintain a clamping force on the cables between the base structure and the clamp.

Electrical line hardware such as termination arrangements and splices for use with overhead electrical cables that enable the interrogation of the overhead electrical cables through the hardware. The hardware includes at least one port to facilitate access to the strength member of the electrical cable so that interrogation instruments may operatively couple to the strength member and to interrogation elements such as optical fibers associated with the strength member. The interrogation may occur after the overhead electrical cable has been fully tensioned and secured by the hardware, e.g., secured to a support tower.

A cable clamp includes a shell having a shell base, a first sidewall and a second sidewall forming a channel extending in a first direction to receive a cable therein. A wedge resides between the first and second sidewalls and includes a wedge base facing the shell base. A shim resides between the wedge base and the shell base, and the cable fits between the shim and the shell base. Movement of the shell relative to the wedge causes the cable to engage more tightly between the shim and the shell base. In one embodiment, a blade element resides between the shim and the shell base. The blade may be a separate element from the shim or attached to or integrally formed with the shim. The wedge may include a recessed area or a cutout portion to accommodate the blade. A cutting edge of the blade element faces toward the cable and will cut the cable in response to an excessive force along the first direction being applied to the cable within the channel.

The present disclosure discloses a substation frame comprising: a supporting assembly comprising at least two supporting posts arranged at intervals, the at least two supporting posts comprising one side supporting post at each end; a beam assembly comprising a beam provided between every two adjacent supporting posts; and a side wire attaching assembly provided on at least one side supporting post and positioned on a side of the side supporting post facing away from the beam.
