Key Features and Advanced Benefits
The EPCOM UPB Pole Bracket is designed with features that deliver tangible benefits for network operators and installation technicians. Its engineering reflects a deep understanding of the challenges faced in the field.
- Superior Material Composition: Manufactured from a high-strength aluminum alloy, the bracket provides an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. This material is inherently resistant to atmospheric corrosion and UV degradation, which is critical for components exposed to the elements over long periods.
- Universal Design and Application: The “universal” nature of the UPB bracket lies in its adaptability. It can be affixed to various pole structures using either stainless steel bands for a flexible, non-invasive fit or M16 bolts for a fixed, high-strength attachment. This versatility simplifies inventory management and project planning.
- Optimized for LV-ABC Systems: The bracket is specifically designed to support LV-ABC lines. Its structure allows for the easy and secure attachment of various clamps, ensuring the proper management of cable tension and weight distribution. This helps maintain network integrity and prevent premature cable wear.
- Enhanced Installation Efficiency: The single-piece construction, combined with strategically placed slots and fixing points, makes installation straightforward and rapid. Technicians can quickly mount the bracket, reducing labor time and associated costs while enhancing safety during overhead work.

Broad Application Scope
The robust design of the UPB Pole Bracket makes it suitable for a diverse range of environments and network configurations. It is a fundamental component in the construction and maintenance of aerial electrical grids. Its primary application is within Low-Voltage Aerial Bundled Conductor (LV-ABC) networks, where it provides the essential support structure for clamps holding the main conductor lines. Whether deploying new infrastructure in urban centers or upgrading rural electricity grids, this bracket offers a reliable and standardized solution. Its resistance to saline and industrial atmospheres also makes it ideal for coastal regions and areas with heavy industry, where corrosion can significantly impact the lifespan of lesser hardware.
Installation Versatility with the UPB Pole Bracket
Flexibility during installation is a key advantage of the UPB Pole Bracket. It offers two primary methods of attachment to ensure a secure fit on any pole material.
- Stainless Steel Banding: For a versatile and firm grip, the bracket can be installed using two stainless steel bands (20 x 0.7 mm). This method is ideal for irregularly shaped poles or in situations where drilling is not feasible. The multiple slots in the bracket’s body are designed to guide and secure the bands, preventing any slippage.
- Bolt-On Mounting: For maximum stability and load-bearing capacity, the bracket can be secured using one or two M16 bolts. This is the preferred method for heavy-duty applications and ensures a permanent, rigid connection to the pole. The central hole is precisely dimensioned for a standard M16 bolt.
Compatible Hardware for Your Network Solution
A reliable network is built from components that work seamlessly together. The UPB Pole Bracket serves as a foundational element that integrates perfectly with a range of other essential hardware from EPCOM. For optimal performance, we recommend pairing this bracket with our specialized clamps.
For straight alignments and gentle deviations, the bracket provides a secure mounting point for our XGU series suspension clamps. These clamps effectively support the LV-ABC cable, preventing sagging while protecting the cable’s insulation from damage.
In applications requiring line termination, tensioning, or significant changes in direction, the bracket is designed to work with our robust JNS series anchoring clamps. This combination ensures that the full mechanical tension of the line is safely transferred to the pole structure.
Furthermore, completing your line installation may require reliable electrical connections. Our JBLT series parallel groove connectors offer a secure and efficient solution for joining conductors, ensuring minimal electrical loss and long-term connection integrity.
