A cable splice includes a casing, a guide, and a pilot cup. The casing has a first opening and an interior cavity. The guide includes a receiving end and a shaft extending at least partially into the interior cavity. The pilot cup is integrally formed with the guide and frangibly connected to the shaft. The cable splice may also include a clamp positioned in the interior cavity and moveable between a loading position and a terminated position. A biasing member urges the clamp into the terminated position. During movement of the clamp from the loading position to the terminated position, the clamp contacts the guide causing at least a portion of the shaft to exit the interior cavity. The guide may also include a rib and a slot allowing the guide to fit in casings having different sized interior cavities.

Method of connecting an electrically connecting cable to a splice

A cable splice includes a casing having a central portion and a first end including a first aperture. The casing defines an interior cavity. A guide assembly extends through the first opening into the interior cavity. A first clamp member is positioned in the interior cavity and moveable between a loading position and a terminated position. A first biasing member biases the first clamp member toward the terminated position. A carrier is positioned in the interior cavity between the first biasing member and the central region. A second clamp member is positioned in the carrier and moveable with respect to the carrier.

Multi-layer cable splice

Automatic cable splice

A clamp assembly includes a body member having a cable groove formed therein to receive a cable. A keeper is connected to the body member and has a lower surface adapted to engage the cable received in the cable groove. A biasing member is disposed between the keeper and the body member.

Side-loading quadrant deadend clamp assembly

A clamp assembly includes a body member and a keeper. A cable groove is formed in the body member to receive a cable. The keeper has a lower surface to engage the cable received in the cable groove. A threaded fastener connects the keeper to the body member. A recess is formed in the body member to receive a washer on the fastener. The recess is defined by first and second walls in which the first wall has a larger height than the second wall. A biasing member is disposed on the threaded fastener between the keeper and the body member.

A clamp assembly includes a body having a base and first and second jaw guides extending outwardly from the base. A trough has first and second ends formed between the first and second jaw guides. First and second jaws are movably received in the trough for receiving a cable therebetween. The first jaw engages the first jaw guide. The second jaw engages the second jaw guide. The first jaw engages the second jaw such that the first and second jaws move together. A pin is disposed in the body proximal the first end of the trough. A spring has a first end connected to the pin and a second end connected to the second jaw to bias the first and second jaws toward the first end of the trough.

Wedge dead end clamp assembly

A clamp assembly includes a body member having a first and second ends. A cable groove is formed in the body member between the first and second ends thereof to receive a conductor. A keeper is connected to the body member and has a lower surface to engage the conductor received in the cable groove. A threaded fastener connects the keeper to the body member. A biasing member is disposed between the keeper and the body member on the threaded fastener to bias the keeper in a direction away from the body member.

Side-loading straight-line deadend clamp assembly

A cable connector includes a body member having a first opening to receive a cable and a second opening. An indicator is movable between first and second positions. A stop member substantially prevents unintended movement of the indicator from the first position to the second position. The indicator moves past the stop member and through the second opening in the body member when moving from the first position to the second position and is exposed externally of the body member to indicate full insertion of the cable.

Automatic splice having an arm indicator

A clamp assembly includes a body member and a keeper. A cable groove is formed in the body member to receive a cable. The keeper has a lower surface to engage the cable received in the cable groove. A threaded fastener connects the keeper to the body member. A recess is formed in the body member to receive a washer on the fastener.

A cable splice includes a casing, a jaw assembly, a biasing member, a guide, and a bullet cup. The casing has an opening and an interior cavity. The jaw assembly is positioned in the interior cavity and moveable between a loading position and a terminated position. The biasing member biases the jaw assembly towards the terminated position. The guide includes a receiving end and a shaft extending at least partially into the interior cavity.
