IMPROVED CLAMP FOR OPTICAL FIBERS OR THE LIKE Abstract of the Disclosure An improvement for a cable clamp which is particu- larly adapted for use in connection with optical fiber cables is provided. The clamp comprises twin hermaphroditic half portions which intermate and axe pivotally movable relative to each other to define two sets of clamping jaws which open and close simultaneously as a result of a scissor like pivot connection. A locking band such as a threaded nut locks the jaws at one end of the clamp together to securely engage an optical fiber cable sheath and simultaneously to secure an optical fiber of such cable at the opposed end. The improvement resides in the pivotal hinge elements interconnecting the two jaws of the clamp, the hinge elements being formed integrally with the jaw elements in complementary fashion to provide the scissorlike hinge action which facilitates the entry and clamping of the inserted optical fiber and cable by the half portions. The pivotal hinge elements are spaced from the central axis of the clamp assembly and are totally separated from the optical fiber both during engagement of the cable and upon final assembly.
