A cable clamp for holding a cable suspended from a support, comprises a shell member having a mouth opening for the passage of the cable, first and second elongated inner abutment surfaces against which first and second portions of the cable received through the mouth opening are adapted to bear, the first and second inner abutment surfaces being disposed in opposed spaced-apart facing relationship to each other and extending along respective longitudinal axes which intersect one another at an acute angle; and a movable wedge member having first and second outer abutment surfaces cooperating with the first and second inner abutment surfaces, respectively, to wedge the first and second cable portions, and a third outer abutment surface intermediate the first and second outer abutment surfaces. When the cable is passed through the mouth opening and looped about the wedge member so as to extend in a direction towards the mouth opening with the first and second cable portions extending between the first inner and outer abutment surfaces and the second inner and outer abutment surfaces, respectively, and the cable is pulled in such a direction, a loop portion of the cable intermediate the first and second cable portions engages the third outer abutment surface to thereby move the wedge member from a non-wedging position to a wedging position whereat the first and second cable portions are clamped between the first inner and outer abutment surfaces and the second inner and outer abutment surfaces, respectively. The cable clamp of the invention further includes attachment means for attaching the shell member to the support such that the shell member is spaced from the support. Such a cable clamp has a high load capacity and can be used for suspending multi-wire cables.
