Description
The PA2000 Dead-End Anchoring Clamp from EPCOM is an expertly engineered solution designed for the secure termination of low-voltage aerial bundled conductors (LV-ABC). This clamp plays a critical role in modern overhead power distribution and telecommunication networks by providing a reliable anchor point for service lines. Its innovative design ensures a firm, non-damaging grip on the cable’s neutral messenger, maintaining signal integrity and mechanical stability under diverse environmental conditions. Crafted for performance and longevity, the PA2000 clamp streamlines installation processes and delivers exceptional safety, making it an indispensable component for any aerial cable infrastructure project.
Key Features of the PA2000 Dead-End Anchoring Clamp
Engineered with precision, this anchoring clamp incorporates several features that ensure its superior performance and reliability in the field. These characteristics are designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern overhead networks.
- Tool-Free Installation: The clamp features self-adjusting wedges that allow for a completely tool-free installation. This significantly reduces setup time and minimizes the chance of installation errors, leading to lower labor costs and increased efficiency.
- High-Durability Materials: The body is constructed from a weather and UV-resistant glass fiber reinforced polymer. This advanced material provides excellent protection against solar radiation and extreme weather, preventing degradation over time.
- Corrosion-Resistant Bail: The flexible bail is made from high-strength, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring a secure and long-lasting connection to pole brackets and other hardware, even in saline or high-humidity environments.
- Self-Adjusting Design: The internal wedges automatically adjust to grip the conductor firmly without damaging the insulation sheath. This adaptable mechanism ensures optimal tension and a secure hold across a range of compatible cable diameters.
Enhanced Installation with the PA2000 Dead-End Anchoring Clamp
The installation process for the PA2000 is designed for simplicity and safety. The self-opening feature is facilitated by an integrated spring, which allows the conductor to be easily inserted. Once inserted, the wedges engage and secure the cable as tension is applied. This intuitive, tool-less application not only speeds up deployment but also enhances the safety of live-line work, as it reduces handling time and complexity.

Building a Complete System with Compatible Hardware
A robust aerial network requires more than just a single component. To ensure end-to-end system integrity, the PA2000 clamp should be used in conjunction with other high-quality pole line hardware. EPCOM provides a full range of compatible products designed to work seamlessly together.
For instance, achieving the correct tension and support for the entire line often requires robust guying solutions. Our high-tensile Stay Wire is engineered to provide the structural support needed for dead-end poles, ensuring they can handle the mechanical loads imposed by the anchored cables over long periods.
Furthermore, the anchor clamp must be affixed to a secure mounting point on the pole. The CA1500 Pole Bracket is the ideal counterpart for the PA2000 clamp. Made from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, it provides a durable and reliable fixture that is easy to install using either bolts or steel bands.
When using steel bands for mounting brackets or other fittings, securing them properly is paramount. EPCOM’s Stainless Steel Buckle is designed to be used with our stainless steel banding to create a tight, permanent, and vibration-proof lock, guaranteeing that your hardware remains firmly in place throughout its service life.
