Abstract

A tension clamp adapted for mounting electrical and communications cables is provided. A flexible elongated C-shaped bail member is connected to a first clamp body portion on one end and a second clamp body portion on the other end. The clamp portions are plate-like and have opposing faces defining a cable recess therebetween. Bolts connecting the first and second body portions may be laterally translated out of grooves in one of the body portions to permit relative lateral translation of the body portions, without disconnecting the bail from the body portion, and enabling side mounting of a cable therewithin.
