“A” Cable Suspension Bolts

Product Overview:

“A” cable suspension bolts, also known as A-cable suspension bolts, are specifically designed for attaching suspension clamps to poles in communications cable applications. These bolts feature a square head and come with two assembled square nuts, one for fastening the bolt to the pole and the other for securing a straight or angle cable suspension clamp to the bolt. Made from high-strength steel and hot-dip galvanized per ASTM A-153 standards, these bolts are built for durability and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for outdoor use in heavy-duty applications.

Structural Features:

1. Square Head Design:
   • The square head allows for easy installation and secure tightening, providing a strong grip when fastening the bolt to the pole.
2. Assembled Square Nuts:
   • Supplied with two assembled square nuts for dual securing purposes: one for attachment to the pole and the other for securing the suspension clamp.
3. High-Strength Material:
   • Manufactured from steel, ensuring exceptional strength and durability.
4. Hot Dip Galvanized Coating:
   • Coated per ASTM A-153 standards, providing excellent corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor and harsh environmental conditions.
5. Specified Thread Length:
   • Typically features a specified thread length, such as 6 inches, crucial for secure and reliable attachment.
6. High Tensile Strength:
   • Rated for high tensile strength, often around 18,350 lbs., ensuring reliability in heavy-duty applications.

Installation Method:

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure all necessary tools and materials are available before starting the installation process. Verify the specifications of the “A” cable suspension bolts to ensure compatibility with the pole and suspension clamps.
2. Positioning:
   • Position the bolt through the pre-drilled hole in the pole.
3. Securing to Pole:
   • Fasten one square nut on the bolt to secure it to the pole. Ensure the square head is properly aligned and tightened.
4. Attaching Suspension Clamp:
   • Position the straight or angle cable suspension clamp on the bolt and secure it with the second square nut.
5. Tightening:
   • Use appropriate tools to tighten both nuts securely, ensuring a firm and stable connection.
6. Inspection:
   • Inspect the installation to ensure the bolt and clamp are securely fastened and properly aligned.

Applicable Environmental Conditions:

1. Temperature Range:
   • Suitable for operation in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring performance in various climatic conditions.
2. Humidity:
   • Effective in environments with high humidity, providing reliability in moist conditions.
3. Weather Resistance:
   • Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including high winds, heavy rain, and UV exposure.
4. Corrosive Environments:
   • The hot-dip galvanized coating provides excellent resistance to corrosion, making these bolts suitable for environments exposed to salt, chemicals, or industrial pollutants.
