An S-hook tension clamp is a small, essential hardware piece used to securely anchor and apply tension to fiber optic drop cables, especially in Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) installations. Its clever design allows for quick, tool-free installation, making it a staple for last-mile network connections. The drop wire clamp is composed of a mandrel shaped body and an opened bail that can be locked into the clamp body. It is made out of UV resistant nylon and steel. CHINA NEATEL offer this tension clamp with appropriate fish type, S-type and other FTTH clamps.

✔ Used to fix and keep tensile state of fiber;
✔ Can be re-entered and reused;
✔ Easy adjustment of cable slack to apply proper tension;
✔ Usually the fiber laying around the electric transmission line or laying on the building whose space is less than 70m;
✔ The tension clamp for fiber drop cable is used to fix and keep the tension state of fiber;
✔ The clamp is made of Nylon PA66;
✔ No special tools are required.

How to Choose the Right S-Hook Tension Clamp?

✔ Check Cable Compatibility: First, verify your cable type and size. Most S-hook clamps work with both flat and round drop cables. However, the acceptable size range varies - for example, some are designed for flat cables up to 2.0x5.0mm and round cables up to 5mm in diameter, always check and contact NEATEL manufacturer for details.

✔ Match Tension Strength to Your Needs: The required tensile strength depends on the installation's specifics, such as span length and cable weight. For short spans (30-50 meters), a clamp with a lower tensile strength (e.g., 0.5 kN) might suffice. For longer spans or heavier cables, you may need a clamp with a higher rating, such as 4 kN .
✔ Consider Material for Environment: Since these are outdoor products, material quality is critical. Look for clamps with a body made of UV-resistant Nylon PA66 and a hook made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel or galvanized steel, this ensures longevity in harsh weather.
