Are you troubled that you can’t choose good material plastic drop wire clamps?
After prolonged exposure to the sun, some drop wire clamps made of inferior plastic material can age badly and become embrittlement. This situation may cause the fiber optical cable loosening or even falling off. This is very dangerous.
Aging occurs because the ultraviolet rays in the sun damage the polymer structure in the plastic, causing the mechanical strength of FTTH drop cable clamps to decrease. In order to eliminate the hidden dangers caused by aging, you can choose UV-resistant plastic drop wire clamps to ensure stable transmission of power and communication.

Toggle6 Advantages of UV- Resistant Plastic Drop Wire Clamps
1.Sun protection, long service life:
Optical fiber cable clamps can still maintain more than 80% of their tensile strength after working outdoors in a high UV environment for ten years. This high strength plastic material is also highly corrosion-resistant and can operate stably in seaside, salt-fog and humid environments.
2.Lightweight:
Plastic drop wire clamps weigh only one-fifth of metal wire clamps, and they reduce your costs both in shipping and during installation. Because they are lighter in weight, they are less likely to break over the long term than metal wire clamps.
3.Easy to install:
With the wedge-slot design, you only need to pass the fiber optical cable through the hole of the plastic drop cable clamp, then hang it on the wedge and secure the cable by tightening friction. During the installation and suspension process, you don’t need to use other tools such as wrenches, and you can complete it independently. Then hang the S hook on the house bracket or the utility pole bracket and you are done.
4.Insulation:
The volume resistivity of S-hook tension clamps are >10¹⁴ Ω·cm, will not be broken down by current. They still maintain insulation resistance in a humid environment, making operation and maintenance safer. Their dielectric strength ≥20 kV/㎡, and are no need to hang additional insulators for insulation in 10kv distribution lines.
5.Flame retardant:
UV-resistant plastic not only protects against sun exposure, but is also very effective in flame retardancy. The cable clamp has passed the UL94 V-0 test. It does not emit toxic gas when burning, and it self-extinguishes in 10 seconds without burning dripping, ensuring the stable suspension of the fiber optical cable.
6.Environmental friendly:
Plastic materials will not cause heavy metal pollution to the environment. These clamps are injection molding, the energy consumption is only 30% of metal injection molding, and the carbon emissions are low. There is no need to use hot-dip galvanizing, surface painting and other processes, which will not cause environmental pollution. When your project is over, these plastic drop wire clamps are still in good condition and can be recycled.
