Grounding Connectors and Accessories
For terminating or connecting continuous runs
of copper cable to flat surfaces, i.e., cable trays,
structures, and bus bar.
The captive “Keeper Bar” design extends the
cable range, and helps hold cable prior to
crimping, thereby facilitating installation.
Saddles are marked with conductor size and die
code. Conductor can be assembled to saddle with
standard dies and hydraulic tools.
