Abstract
A one-piece clamp (11) for clamping a flat cable (33) in folded condition is of clamshell construction, one of the half shells (13) comprising a hemicylindrical cable fold locating portion (26) joined to a radially extending cable gripping part (27) so that, when latched together, the half shells (12, 13) define an eccentric cable receiving opening. A portion of flat cable (33) folded across itself along an oblique fold line is retained in folded condition predominantly by clamping pressure applied by the cable gripping part (27) to a longitudinal edge portion of the cable (33) remote from the fold line.
