Abstract
A heavy duty clamp for cables or wires, and the like, said clamp having increased strength and resistance to distortion or breakage. Two overlying clamp plates, or segments, are held against relative movement by one of the plates having a shoulder member that engages with a portion of the other plate. The plates contain a split, tubular gripping member and the plates have increased longitudinal strength by having extended ends of the plates to provide protection against shearing forces created by the split tubular gripping member against the adjacent ends of the clamp plates.
