Self-damping bundle conductor spacer for maintaining apart suspended lengths of adjacently extending electrical conductors, including at least two opposed conductor clamps for clamping respectively a portion of the girth of a corresponding electrical conductor, each of the clamps being interconnected in spaced relation with the next adjacent clamp by a corresponding substantially transversely extending elongated helical spacer spring having a hollow axial bore, and a damping bundle of substantially parallel discrete flexible metal strands occupying substantially the cross section of the axial bore of a corresponding spring with the bundle strands in frictional surface contact with one another along their common extent yet relatively slidably displaceable with respect to one another and with respect to the confining portions of the spring along at least a portion of the extent of the axial bore in dependence upon tension and compression forces acting on the assembly.
