A ground clamp arrangement for electrical cables of the type having neutral or ground potential wires concentrically surrounding the insulating jacket of the cable comprises a strip deformable into a collar for disposition radially between the jacket and the ground wires. A clamping ring encircles the ground wires and is tightened against the wires which are thereby pressed against the collar. The collar has interlocking overlapped ends that prevent diametral reduction of the collar so that reduction of the diameter of the cable jacket is prevented. The clamping ring has a terminal for attaching a wire to ground a telephone cable or the like. In the method the deformable member is inserted under several of the neutral wires, then bent around the cable, then pushed under all of the neutral wires to form the collar, after which the clamping ring is applied.
