Abstract
The purpose of this invention is to provide a means for securing and grounding coaxial cable or a similar item. The design comprises a base plate and a grounding plate that incorporates a nest and penetrating prongs as an integral part and that includes a screw and two nuts and a lock washer. The design is unique in that one can provide a positive ground connection without the need for cutting, stripping or interrupting the continuity of the cable by merely pressing the cable into the nest of the grounding plate side of the clamp and sliding the base plate into position and tightening the clamping screw to lock the parts together. A ground wire is then placed under a second nut and tightened securely.
