Wire rope clips

Wire rope clips, also known as cable clamps or wire rope clamps, are devices used to secure the ends of wire ropes or cables by clamping them together. They can be used to form a load-bearing eye at the end of a cable or to connect two cables together with a lap splice.

They consist of a U-shaped bolt with a saddle and two nuts. The saddle fits over the wire rope, and the nuts are tightened down onto the saddle, compressing the wire rope securely.

Wire rope clips are popular because they can be installed in the field and provide 80-90% efficiency of the rope’s breaking strength, depending on the diameter of the wire rope.
