Abstract

A rigid cable clamp for holding cable in a bent condition, the clamp having two rigid members which when assembled make a curved cable passage to hold cable bent. One or both members is electrically conductive and presses against the bared cable shield to provide electrical continuity into the member. A slot is provided in the electrically conductive member for frictionally receiving a metal ground support for the clamp so as to ground the cable shield.
