The invention discloses a lead supporting and fixing fitting and the interval rod brackets thereof. More than two basic bodies of the interval rod brackets are arranged along the horizontal linear direction at intervals, and fixing brackets are fixedly connected between the basic bodies. The wire clamping positions corresponding to the conductor clamps for clamping a same split conductor on the basic bodies are aligned along the arranging direction. In the process of erecting the split conductor, the split conductor is supported by two or more fulcrums clamp on a same lead supporting and fixing fitting, and the fulcrums are relatively fixed. The relative shaking amplitude of each lead supporting and fixing fitting is reduced under the effect of wind, thermal stress and manpower dragging factors, since the length of split conductor clamped by the lead supporting and fixing fitting increases. Bending of the incoming/exiting portions of the split conductor on the lead supporting and fixing fitting is minimized, and the stability and reliability of power transmission of the split conductor are improved.
