This disclosure is directed to a spacer for aerial cables for supporting one of more electrical conductor cables above the ground. It includes a body member having at least one concave seat adapted to receive a conductor cable, at least one generally arcuate retaining means adapted to engage a surface of the conductor cable and toggle means adapted to cooperate with the retaining means to firmly hold the conductor cable in its seat. One end of the cable retaining means is pivotally supported on the body member. The toggle means is pivotally supported on the other end of the cable retaining means. The toggle is provided with second ratchet tooth means and also generally arcuate third ratchet tooth means. Ratchet tooth means are also provided on the body member outwardly of the concave seat. The teeth of the toggle ratchet tooth means are engageable with the teeth of the body ratchet tooth means when the toggle means is rotated about its pivotal connection to the retaining means thereby to cause the retaining means to firmly hold the conductor cable in the concave seat.
