Abstract
An electrical cable clamp for retaining a plurality of multi-conductor cables having electrically conductive sheaths in fixed disposition and for grounding the shields of those cables. The cable clamp includes a ground bracket comprised of a flat metal strip stamped to form a plurality of U-shaped open ended channels integrally joined together by a web. Each channel includes a rearward wall, and a pair of side walls extend forwardly from the rearward wall. A compression member is provided for compressing a plurality of cables together in electrically conductive relation and for forcing the cables against the rearward wall portions of the channels in electrical contact. The compression member includes a pair of spaced apart parallel legs slideably housed in the respective channels. The legs each include a free end having a jaw member extending between the side walls of the channels and adapted to engage cables and to force them against the rearward walls of the channels.
