How Preformed Dead End Grips Cut Maintenance Costs

In overhead power and telecommunications networks, ADSS and OPGW cables are the backbone of modern connectivity. Their long-term performance, however, depends on one critical component: the dead end grip. As an essential fastening solution for cable termination, preformed dead end grips have become a true game-changer—providing superior cable protection while significantly reducing long-term maintenance costs. For businesses seeking durable and cost-effective solutions, JERA LINE, a global leader in cable accessories, delivers high-quality preformed dead end grips that set new standards for efficiency, reliability, and installation performance.

• The Core Advantages of Preformed Dead End Grips

Preformed dead end grips (also known as dead end clamps) are engineered to address the unique challenges of ADSS and OPGW cable systems. Unlike generic fasteners, they are tailored to the mechanical properties of these cables, such as tensile strength and diameter, ensuring a precise fit that eliminates slippage and sagging.

Their preformed, self-tightening design is a standout feature. It distributes the cable’s full tensile load evenly across the grip body, preventing concentrated stress that can lead to cable damage or breakage. With typical maximum load capacities ranging from 50 to 120 kN (depending on the model), these grips excel even in harsh weather conditions—high winds, heavy ice, and UV exposure—thanks to corrosion-resistant materials like galvanized steel, aluminum alloy, and non-metallic polymers.

Installation is another key benefit. The modular design requires minimal specialized tools and no welding, allowing field technicians to complete terminations quickly. This not only reduces labor time but also minimizes the risk of human error, a common cause of premature cable failure and costly repairs.

• How Preformed Dead End Grips Cut Maintenance Costs

The true value of preformed dead end grips lies in their ability to lower long-term maintenance expenses. By securely anchoring ADSS and OPGW cables to utility poles or transmission towers, they prevent displacement that can cause short circuits, outages, or cable wear. For telecom networks (including 5G and rural telecom infrastructure), this means uninterrupted data and voice transmission, eliminating the need for emergency repairs and service disruptions.

In medium and high-voltage (MV/HV) power grids, these grips bear the full tensile load of OPGW cables, safeguarding against costly downtime. Their corrosion and UV resistance also extend the lifespan of both the grip and the cable, reducing the frequency of replacements. With fewer site visits required for maintenance, businesses save on labor, equipment, and operational costs over the cable’s lifecycle.
