Stainless Steel Captive Clamps

Stainless Steel Captive Clamps

Stainless Steel Captive Clamps

(OP)
We have a junction box specification that asks for 316 stainless steel captive clamps. Am I correct in assuming that these clamps are for cable screens?

Thanks

RE: Stainless Steel Captive Clamps

What type of cable is usually used with these junction boxes?

RE: Stainless Steel Captive Clamps

The word 'captive' in this context often means that the clamp is effectively part of, or attached to, the junction box in such a manner that it can't easily be separated during normal maintenance. In such cases, they'd normally be included with the junction box.

I don't think it has anything to do with shielded cables.

Standby for others to confirm. Or not.

RE: Stainless Steel Captive Clamps

Are you sure that the clamps are not the ones for closing the junction box lid?
