Abstract
A device and method for clamping and grounding a cable, includes a conductive cable clamp. The clamp is adapted to clamp and conductively engage a periphery of a conductive shield of the cable. In one aspect of the invention, the cable clamp includes a first conductive plate and a second conductive plate. Each of the plates has at least one groove formed therein. The first plate is positionable against the second plate so that the groove in the first plate and the groove in the second plate collectively form a hole extending from one edge of the cable clamp to an opposite edge of the cable clamp, with the hole accommodating the cable therein. In another aspect of the invention, the cable clamp includes a conductive flexible fabric having at least one pattern formed therein, with the pattern accommodating the cable therein.
