A clamp for suspending a conductor wire with a textured surface from a transmission tower includes a restraining sleeve, a housing, and a mounting tab. The restraining sleeve is made of upper and lower sleeve pieces that define a sleeve cavity to encase the conductor wire. The sleeve cavity has an internal gripping surface that intermeshes with the textured surface of the conductor wire to prevent slippage and rotation of the conductor wire relative to the sleeve cavity, without substantial compression of the conductor wire. The housing is made of a plurality of housing parts that define a housing cavity to encase restraining sleeve. The housing cavity is configured to permit rotation of the restraining sleeve, but restrict longitudinal movement of the retraining sleeve within the housing. The mounting tab is connected to the housing to permit direct or indirect connection of the clamp to a transmission tower. |
