Abstract
A simple and inexpensive dead end fitting for securing an overhead conductor loosely housing an optical guide to a tower comprises a sleeve of malleable metal or metal alloy, open at each of its ends, for compression jointing to the conductor; a steel termination in screw threaded engagement with the sleeve and having a clevis for securing the fitting to a tower; and a lug welded to the sleeve for effecting electrical connection to a jumper cable. The lug engages in a notch in the adjacent end of the termination to lock positively the screw threaded engagement between the sleeve and termination.
