Wedge-Grips by Preformed Line Products are the quickest way to terminate your cable installation in a dead end. Easy to use, quick to install, and available in sizes that cover all sizes of cable commonly used in tree cabling.
The WEDGE-GRIP simply "slides-over" the strand and clamps with the turn of a cap. No need to ever twist open the strand or alter the strand's integrity. The end result is a reliable termination designed to develop 100% of the published rated breaking strength of the strand, while taking only seconds to be applied. Works on both EHS and standard cable.
