Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cable laying technology, and in particular to a cable wall-climbing clamp and a cable assembly. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of fiber to the home / office (FTTH / O) and fiber to the room (FTTR), the application of optical cables is becoming more and more widespread, and the construction of optical cable cabling is also increasing.

[0003] There is a lack of tools in the relevant technologies that can easily fix optical cables to the wall. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a cable wall-climbing clamp and a cable assembly. The cable wall-climbing clamp is used to fix the cable to a wall and clamp optical cables or electrical cables to achieve wall mounting. The technical solutions of the cable wall-climbing clamp and the cable assembly are described below.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a cable climbing clamp. The cable climbing clamp includes a base, a pressure cover, and a connecting part. The base, pressure cover, and connecting part are integrally injection molded. One end of the base along a first direction is connected to the pressure cover via the connecting part. The base has multiple cable slots, each extending along a second direction, and the multiple cable slots are arranged along the first direction. The first direction intersects the second direction. The connecting part is bendable and used to allow the pressure cover to flip relative to the base. The pressure cover is used to flip so that it contacts the base and covers the multiple cable slots.

[0006] The technical solution provided in this application involves first fixing the cable wall-climbing clamp to the wall. Then, the optical cable or electrical cable is placed in the cable slot. Next, the pressure cap is flipped up to contact the base, covering multiple cable slots and preventing the optical cable or electrical cable from coming out. Therefore, using the cable wall-climbing clamp provided in this application allows for convenient fixing of optical cables or electrical cables to the wall.

[0007] Furthermore, since the base, cover, and connecting part are integrally injection molded, the base, cover, and connecting part are a single part. Compared to the solution where the base and cover are connected by a hinge shaft, this reduces the number of parts included in the cable climbing clamp and simplifies the manufacturing and assembly processes of the cable climbing clamp.

[0008] In one implementation, the base, cover, and connector are made of polypropylene (PP) or polyamide (PA), with polyamide also known as nylon. PP or PA materials offer better flexibility and bending resistance, facilitating bending of the connector and allowing for multiple bends, thus extending the lifespan of the cable climbing clamp.

[0009] In one implementation, the connecting portion includes a first connecting portion, a bent portion, and a second connecting portion connected sequentially. The first connecting portion is connected to a base, and the second connecting portion is connected to a pressure cap. The bent portion is used for bending. The thickness of the bent portion is less than the thickness of the first connecting portion and / or the thickness of the second connecting portion. For example, the thickness of the bent portion is less than the thickness of both the first and second connecting portions.

[0010] The technical solution provided in this application, by providing a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion on both sides of the bent portion, ensures that the bending point (i.e., the bent portion) is located in the middle of the connecting portion. This facilitates the alignment of the two first end walls of the base along the first direction with the two second end walls of the pressure cap along the first direction after the pressure cap is flipped over, as well as the alignment of the first connecting structure on the base and the second connecting structure on the pressure cap. The first and second connecting structures are used to achieve a fixed connection between the pressure cap and the base. Furthermore, by providing a thicker first connecting portion connecting the base and a thicker second connecting portion connecting the pressure cap, the connection area between the two ends of the connecting portion and the base and pressure cap is increased, thereby improving the connection strength.

[0011] In one implementation, the thickness of the first connecting portion gradually decreases along the direction approaching the bend. Similarly, the thickness of the second connecting portion gradually decreases along the direction approaching the bend. This prevents abrupt changes in the thickness of the connecting portions, avoids stress concentration, and reduces the likelihood of connection breakage.

[0012] In one implementation, when the bent portion is in an unbent state, its thickness is greater than 0.3 mm and less than 1 mm or 1.2 mm. This facilitates bending of the bent portion while ensuring sufficient strength.

[0013] In one implementation, when the bent portion is in an unbent state, the size of the bent portion is less than 1mm along the direction from the first connecting portion to the second connecting portion. This ensures that the bending position of the bent portion does not deviate too much, facilitating the alignment of the two first end walls of the base along the first direction with the two second end walls of the cover along the first direction X after the cover is flipped.

[0014] In one implementation, the ratio of the dimension of the connecting part to the dimension of the base along the second direction is greater than 0.8. This results in a larger dimension of the connecting part along the second direction, thereby increasing the connection strength between the connecting part and the base and gland, and reducing the possibility of breakage of the connecting part.

[0015] In one implementation, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. This facilitates the wall mounting of the cable climbing clamp. For example, it facilitates the installation of the cable climbing clamp with the first direction as the vertical direction.

[0016] In one implementation, the cover further includes multiple pressure blocks. When the cover is flipped to contact the base, each cable slot faces at least one pressure block, which is used to clamp the optical cable or electrical cable. This reduces the possibility of the optical cable or electrical cable shifting in the second direction.

[0017] In one implementation, the multiple cable slots include multiple first cable slots and multiple second cable slots. The first cable slots are used to clamp round optical cables, and the second cable slots are used to clamp butterfly optical cables. In this way, a single cable wall-climbing clamp can accommodate both round and butterfly optical cables for wall mounting, reducing the number of types of cable wall-climbing clamps required and thus helping to reduce costs, such as mold costs.

[0018] In one implementation, the base includes a first connecting structure, and the cover includes a second connecting structure. The first and second connecting structures are used to achieve a fixed connection between the cover and the base.

[0019] In one implementation, the plurality of cable slots includes a plurality of first cable slots and a plurality of second cable slots. Along a first direction, a first connecting structure is arranged between the plurality of first cable slots and the plurality of second cable slots. The first and second cable slots can be used to clamp the same type of optical cable, or to clamp different types of optical cables, or to clamp electrical cables.

[0020] In the technical solution provided by this application, when the base is relatively long along the first direction, if the first connecting structure is located at the end of the base away from the connecting part, the distance between the first connecting structure and the connecting part will be too large, which may cause the middle part of the cover to arch, affecting the effect of the cover pressing the optical cable. However, this application places the first connecting structure between multiple first cable slots and multiple second cable slots, which can provide a better fixing effect for the cover and improve the pressing effect of the cover on the optical cable.

[0021] In one implementation, the distance between the first connecting structure and the connecting part is greater than the distance between the first connecting structure and the end of the base away from the connecting part.

[0022] In the technical solution provided in this application, the end of the pressure cap without a connecting part is not connected to the base, that is, the end of the pressure cap without a connecting part is a free end. Therefore, the distance between the free end and the first connecting structure cannot be too large, otherwise the free end may tilt up, which will also affect the pressing effect of the pressure cap on the optical cable. The end of the pressure cap with a connecting part is connected to the base, and this end can be called the non-free end. Since the non-free end is limited and will not tilt up, the distance between the non-free end and the first connecting structure can be larger. Based on the above principle, this application sets the distance between the first connecting structure and the connecting part along the first direction to be greater than the distance between the first connecting structure and the end of the base away from the connecting part, which can improve the fixing effect of the pressure cap and improve the pressing effect of the pressure cap on the optical cable.

[0023] In one implementation, a first cable slot is used to clamp a circular optical cable, a second cable slot is used to clamp a butterfly optical cable, and multiple first cable slots are arranged between the first connecting structure and the connecting part.

[0024] The technical solution provided in this application has a first cable slot with a larger size than the second cable slot along the first direction. Therefore, for the same number of first and second cable slots, the size of the multiple first cable slots is larger than the size of the multiple second cable slots. Thus, this application arranges multiple first cable slots between the first connecting structure and the connecting part, which helps to ensure that the distance between the first connecting structure and the connecting part is greater than the distance between the first connecting structure and the end of the base furthest from the connecting part. Furthermore, circular optical cables are easier to remove from the cable slots; therefore, arranging multiple first cable slots for securing circular optical cables between the first connecting structure and the connecting part improves the restraint effect on the circular optical cables.

[0025] In one implementation, the first connecting structure includes a first through hole, and the second connecting structure includes a second through hole. The first and second through holes are used for a locking screw to pass through, so as to achieve a fixed connection between the cover and the base.

[0026] In one implementation, the first connecting structure further includes a positioning groove, with a first through hole penetrating the bottom of the positioning groove. The second connecting structure further includes a positioning boss, with a second through hole penetrating the positioning boss, which is used to extend into the positioning groove. Once the positioning boss extends into the positioning groove, the first and second through holes are aligned, facilitating the user's use of a locking screw to pass through both holes.

[0027] In one implementation, along a first direction, each first cable slot includes two first sidewalls, and each second cable slot includes two second sidewalls. The first sidewall closest to the positioning groove includes a first segment and a second segment spaced apart along a second direction, and the second sidewall closest to the positioning groove includes a third segment and a fourth segment spaced apart along the second direction. A portion of the bottom of the positioning groove is located between the first and second segments, and a portion of the bottom of the positioning groove is located between the third and fourth segments. This helps to reduce the size occupied by the positioning groove alone in the first direction, and consequently helps to reduce the size of the cable climbing clamp along the first direction.

[0028] In one implementation, the first connecting structure further includes a nut receiving groove located on the side of the base that contacts the wall, with a first through hole penetrating the bottom of the nut receiving groove. The nut receiving groove is used to receive a nut, and a locking screw is used to pass through the first and second through holes and is threadedly connected to the nut.

[0029] The technical solution provided in this application, by setting a nut and a locking screw for connection, simplifies the manufacturing process of the base by eliminating the need for a threaded second hole. Furthermore, compared to setting the second through hole as a threaded hole, the connection strength between the locking screw and the nut is higher.

[0030] In one implementation, the first connecting structure includes a slot, and the second connecting structure includes a hook for engaging with the slot.

[0031] In one implementation, the base also includes two third through holes, and along the first direction, multiple cable slots are arranged between the two third through holes, the third through holes being used for wall screws to pass through.

[0032] In one implementation, the base further includes two third through holes. On the projection of the base along its thickness direction, the projection of at least one third through hole coincides with the projection of multiple cable slots. The third through holes are used for wall-mounting screws to pass through. In this way, at least one third through hole shares space with the cable slots in the first direction, which helps to reduce the size of the cable climbing clamp along the first direction.

[0033] In one implementation, the base also includes a receiving groove, with both sides of the receiving groove open along the second direction. The cable climbing clamp also includes a flexible pad disposed within the receiving groove. The pressure cap further includes multiple optical cable limiting grooves, which are positioned opposite to the flexible pads when the pressure cap is attached to the base. Each optical cable is used to limit its position between one optical cable limiting groove and the flexible pad. Since the optical cable limiting grooves are used to limit circular optical cables, the size of the cable climbing clamp along the first direction can be reduced by providing a receiving groove on the base instead of a cable clamp slot.

[0034] Secondly, this application provides a cable wall-climbing clamp. The cable wall-climbing clamp includes a base and a cover, with one end of the base rotatably connected to the cover along a first direction. The base has multiple cable slots, each extending along a second direction, and the multiple cable slots are arranged along the first direction, wherein the first direction intersects the second direction. The base has a first through hole, and the cover has a second through hole, the first and second through holes being for a locking screw to pass through, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the cover and the base.

[0035] The technical solution provided in this application involves first fixing the cable wall-climbing clamp to the wall. Then, the optical cable or electrical cable is placed in the cable slot. Next, the pressure cap is flipped up to contact the base, and the base and pressure cap are fixedly connected using locking screws. The pressure cap covers multiple cable slots, thus preventing the optical cable or electrical cable from coming out of the slots. Therefore, using the cable wall-climbing clamp provided in this application allows for convenient fixing of optical cables or electrical cables to the wall. Furthermore, by using locking screws to fix the base and pressure cap together, the reliability of the fixed connection between the base and pressure cap is improved compared to a simple snap-fit ​​method.

[0036] In one implementation, the cable climbing clamp also includes a hinge shaft, through which the base and the pressure cap are rotatably connected.

[0037] In one implementation, the first perforation is located at the end of the base away from the hinge axis.

[0038] In one implementation, the base also has a positioning groove, with a first through hole penetrating the bottom of the positioning groove. The cover also has a positioning boss, with a second through hole penetrating the positioning boss, which is used to extend into the positioning groove. Once the positioning boss extends into the positioning groove, the first and second through holes are aligned, facilitating the user's use of a locking screw to pass through both holes.

[0039] In one implementation, the base also includes two third through holes for wall-mounting screws to pass through. One of the third through holes extends through the bottom of the positioning groove.

[0040] In one implementation, the base further includes a nut receiving groove located on the side of the base that contacts the wall, with a first through hole penetrating the bottom of the groove. The nut receiving groove is used to receive a nut, and a locking screw passes through the first and second through holes and is threadedly connected to the nut.

[0041] The technical solution provided in this application clamps the base and the gland between the head of the locking screw and the nut, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the base and the gland. Furthermore, by using a nut, on the one hand, it eliminates the need for a threaded second hole, simplifying the manufacturing process of the base. On the other hand, compared to using a threaded second hole, the connection between the locking screw and the nut is more reliable.

[0042] In one implementation, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. This facilitates the wall mounting of the cable climbing clamp. For example, it facilitates the installation of the cable climbing clamp with the first direction as the vertical direction.

[0043] In one implementation, the cover further includes multiple pressure blocks. When the cover is flipped to contact the base, each cable slot faces at least one pressure block, which is used to clamp the optical cable or electrical cable. This reduces the possibility of the optical cable or electrical cable shifting in the second direction.

[0044] In one implementation, the multiple cable slots include multiple first cable slots and multiple second cable slots. The first cable slots are used to clamp round optical cables, and the second cable slots are used to clamp butterfly optical cables. In this way, a single cable wall-climbing clamp can accommodate both round and butterfly optical cables for wall mounting, reducing the number of types of cable wall-climbing clamps required and thus helping to reduce costs, such as mold costs.

[0045] In one implementation, the multiple cable slots include multiple first cable slots and multiple second cable slots, with first through holes arranged between the multiple first cable slots and multiple second cable slots along a first direction. The first and second cable slots can be used to clamp the same type of optical cable, or to clamp different types of optical cables, or to clamp electrical cables.

[0046] In the technical solution provided by this application, if the first perforation is located at the end of the base away from the connecting part when the base is relatively long along the first direction, the distance between the first perforation and the connecting part will be too large, which may cause the middle part of the cover to arch, affecting the effect of the cover pressing the optical cable. However, this application places the first perforation between multiple first cable slots and multiple second cable slots, which can provide a better fixing effect for the cover and improve the pressing effect of the cover on the optical cable.

[0047] In one implementation, the distance between the first through hole and the hinge axis is greater than the distance between the first through hole and the end of the base away from the hinge axis.

[0048] In the technical solution provided in this application, the end of the pressure cap without a hinge shaft is not connected to the base, meaning that the end of the pressure cap without a hinge shaft is a free end. Therefore, the distance between the free end and the first through hole cannot be too large, otherwise the free end may tilt upwards, which will also affect the pressure effect of the pressure cap on the optical cable. The end of the pressure cap with a hinge shaft is connected to the base, and this end can be called the non-free end. Since the non-free end is restrained and will not tilt upwards, the distance between the non-free end and the first through hole can be larger. Based on the above principle, this application sets the distance between the first through hole and the hinge shaft along the first direction to be greater than the distance between the first through hole and the end of the base away from the hinge shaft, which can improve the fixing effect of the pressure cap and improve the pressure effect of the pressure cap on the optical cable.

[0049] In one implementation, a first cable slot is used to clamp a circular optical cable, a second cable slot is used to clamp a butterfly optical cable, and multiple first cable slots are arranged between a first through hole and a hinge shaft.

[0050] The technical solution provided in this application has a first cable slot with a larger size than the second cable slot along the first direction. Therefore, for the same number of first and second cable slots, the size of the multiple first cable slots is larger than the size of the multiple second cable slots. Thus, by arranging multiple first cable slots between the first through hole and the hinge shaft, this application achieves a distance between the first through hole and the hinge shaft that is greater than the distance between the first through hole and the end of the base furthest from the hinge shaft. Furthermore, circular optical cables are easier to remove from the cable slots; therefore, arranging multiple first cable slots for securing circular optical cables between the first through hole and the hinge shaft improves the limiting effect on the circular optical cables.

[0051] In one implementation, along a first direction, each first cable slot includes two first sidewalls, and each second cable slot includes two second sidewalls. The first sidewall closest to the positioning groove includes a first segment and a second segment spaced apart along a second direction, and the second sidewall closest to the positioning groove includes a third segment and a fourth segment spaced apart along the second direction. A portion of the bottom of the positioning groove is located between the first and second segments, and a portion of the bottom of the positioning groove is located between the third and fourth segments. This helps to reduce the size occupied by the positioning groove alone in the first direction.

[0052] Thirdly, this application provides a cable assembly. The cable assembly includes a cable wall-climbing clamp and a cable disposed in a cable slot of the cable wall-climbing clamp.

[0053] In one implementation, the cable includes optical fiber or electrical cable. Attached Figure Description

[0085] With the development of fiber to the home / office (FTTH / O) and fiber to the room (FTTR), the application of optical cables is becoming increasingly widespread. Correspondingly, the installation of optical cable cabling is also increasing. Optical cables can also be referred to as optical fibers.

[0086] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the FTTH / O system architecture is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the optical line terminal (OLT) connects to upstream network-side equipment (such as switches and routers) and connects to downstream optical network terminals (ONTs) via an optical distribution network (ODN). The ODN includes passive optical splitters for optical power distribution, a backbone fiber connecting the passive optical splitters and the OLT, and branch fibers connecting the passive optical splitters and the ONTs. When transmitting downlink signals, the downlink signals sent by the OLT are transmitted to each ONT through the passive optical splitter, and the ONTs selectively receive downlink data belonging to themselves from the downlink signals. When transmitting uplink signals, the uplink signals sent by N ONTs are combined into a single optical signal by the passive optical splitter and transmitted to the OLT.

[0087] Building upon FTTH / O, to address signal coverage issues (such as wireless LAN (WLAN) signals) in home or office networks, fiber optic cables can be extended further into the room. Optical terminal equipment providing WLAN signals is installed inside the room, thus reducing the distance between the user terminal and the wireless access point (AP) and improving signal quality. This technology is called FTTR.

[0088] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the FTTR system architecture is shown. Figure 2 As shown, in FTTH / O, the OLT is deployed in the central equipment room, while the ONT is deployed in homes or offices. The master device in the FTTR network acts as both the ONT in the FTTH network and the upstream device for the FTTR slave devices, managing them. The slave devices in FTTR can be deployed in various rooms of a home or office to provide signal to user-side equipment. These user-side devices include... Figure 2 The wired or wireless terminals or terminal adapters shown can be user-side devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops, which can communicate with the master or slave device wirelessly. Figure 2The UNI interface stands for User Networks Interface, which is responsible for the connection between user-side devices and the network. The slave device has ONT functionality and can also function as a wireless access point (AP).

[0089] Multiple slave devices can be deployed in an FTTR, each connected to the master device via an optical splitter and fiber optic cable. The master device can centrally manage and configure all slave devices. The master device can also be called a master gateway, master optical modem, or master FTTR unit (MFU), while slave devices can be called slave gateways, slave optical modems, or sub-FTTR units (SFU).

[0090] From the above, it can be seen that, Figure 1 In this configuration, the OLT is optically connected to the passive optical splitter via the trunk fiber, and the passive optical splitter is optically connected to the ONT via branch fibers. Figure 2 In this system, fiber optic connections are also used between the OLT and the master equipment, as well as between the master and slave equipment. Some of these fiber optic cables need to be installed on walls. In addition to installing fiber optic cables on walls, sometimes electrical cables also need to be installed on walls.

[0091] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a cable wall-climbing clamp 100, which can fix optical cables or electrical cables to a wall. The accompanying drawings of this application embodiment illustrate the use of the cable wall-climbing clamp 100 for fixing optical cables.

[0092] Figure 3 A scenario diagram illustrating the application of the cable climbing clamp 100 provided in the embodiments of this application is shown. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the optical cable 200 is fixed or suspended to the exterior wall of the building by the cable wall-climbing clamp 100. Of course, in other examples, the cable wall-climbing clamp 100 provided in this application embodiment can also be applied indoors and used to fix the optical cable 200 to an interior wall. For example, Figure 3 The optical cable 200 is Figure 1 Branched optical fibers.

[0093] The cable climbing clamp 100 provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below by way of example. Figures 5-6 , Figures 13-16 and Figures 19-20As shown, the cable wall-climbing clamp 100 includes a base 1 and a cover 2. One end of the base 1 along a first direction X is rotatably connected to the cover 2, allowing the cover 2 to flip relative to the base 1. The base 1 has multiple cable slots 10, each extending along a second direction Y, and the multiple cable slots 10 are arranged along the first direction X. The first direction X intersects (e.g., perpendicularly) the second direction Y. The cover 2 is used to flip up to contact the base 1 and cover the multiple cable slots 10. The base 1 is used for wall mounting. One side of the base 1 is flush against the wall, and the other side has multiple cable slots 10. The optical cable 200 can pass through the cable slots 10 along the second direction Y.

[0094] The technical solution provided in this application embodiment involves first fixing the cable wall-climbing clamp 100 to the wall, and then placing the optical cable 200 (or cable) in the cable slot 10. Next, the pressure cover 2 is flipped over to contact the base 1, thus covering multiple cable slots 10 and preventing the optical cable 200 (or cable) from coming out of the cable slots 10. Therefore, by applying the cable wall-climbing clamp 100 provided in this application embodiment, the optical cable 200 can be easily fixed or suspended on the wall.

[0095] In some examples, such as Figure 6 and Figure 20 As shown, the multiple cable slots 10 include multiple first cable slots 11 and multiple second cable slots 12. The first cable slots 11 are used to clamp round optical cables 210, and the second cable slots 12 are used to clamp butterfly optical cables 220. In this way, a single cable wall-climbing clamp 100 can accommodate both round optical cables 210 and butterfly optical cables 220 for wall mounting, reducing the number of different types of cable wall-climbing clamps 100 required and thus helping to reduce costs.

[0096] In some examples, such as Figure 6 and Figure 20 As shown, the base 1 has three first cable slots 11 and three second cable slots 12.

[0097] Of course, in other examples, the cable climbing clamp 100 provided in this application embodiment may only include a first cable slot 11 for clamping the circular optical cable 210, or only include a second cable slot 12 for clamping the butterfly optical cable 220.

[0098] In some examples, such as Figures 14-16As shown, the base 1 also has a receiving groove 15, which is open on both sides along the second direction Y. The cable climbing clamp 100 also includes a flexible pad 7, which is disposed in the receiving groove 15. The pressure cover 2 also includes a plurality of optical cable limiting grooves 23, which are arranged opposite to the flexible pad 7 when the pressure cover 2 contacts the base 1. Each optical cable 200 is used to limit its position between one optical cable limiting groove 23 and the flexible pad 7. For example, there are three optical cable limiting grooves 23.

[0099] In some examples, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the flexible pad 7 and the pressure cap 2 are used to clamp the circular optical cable 210, and the cable slot 10 (second cable slot 12) is used to clamp the butterfly optical cable 220. Specifically, by providing the receiving groove 15 and the flexible pad 7 to clamp the circular optical cable 210, compared to providing multiple first cable slots 11, the dimension of the receiving groove 15 along the first direction X is smaller than the dimension of the multiple first cable slots 11 along the first direction X, which helps to reduce the dimension of the cable climbing clamp 100 along the first direction X.

[0100] In some examples, such as Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 17 and Figure 20 As shown, the side wall of the cable slot 10 is provided with a compression rib 101, which is used to compress the optical cable 200.

[0101] In some examples, such as Figure 9 , Figure 17 and Figure 20 As shown, along the first direction X, the cable slot 10 includes two sidewalls, each with a compression rib 101. The compression ribs 101 on different sidewalls are staggered. This allows the multiple compression ribs 101 to better limit the movement of the optical cable 200.

[0102] In some examples, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 21 As shown, the base 1 is also provided with a plurality of strip grooves 13, which are provided at least on the partition between two adjacent cable slots 10 and penetrate the partition along the second direction Y. In this way, the sidewall of the cable slot 10 is elastic, and the cable slot 10 can better clamp the optical cable 200.

[0103] In some examples, such as Figure 7 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 21As shown, each cable slot 10 has a strip groove 13 on both sides, which makes both side walls of the cable slot 10 elastic.

[0104] In some examples, such as Figure 6 and Figure 20 As shown, the pressure cover 2 also includes multiple pressure blocks 22. When the pressure cover 2 is flipped to contact the base 1, each cable slot 10 is opposite to at least one pressure block 22, and the pressure block 22 is used to press the optical cable 200. In this way, the optical cable 200 can be prevented from shifting in the second direction Y.

[0105] In some examples, such as Figure 6 and Figure 20 As shown, multiple pressure blocks 22 are arranged in multiple columns, with each column of pressure blocks 22 positioned opposite a cable slot 10.

[0106] In other examples, such as Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, a stop 102 is provided on the side wall of the cable slot 10. The stop 102 is used to limit the optical cable 200 between the stop 102 and the bottom of the cable slot 10. In this case, the pressure block 22 may not be provided on the cover 2.

[0107] In some examples, such as Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the stop block 102 is disposed in the second cable slot 12 for securing the butterfly optical cable 220.

[0108] This application does not limit the implementation method of the rotatable connection between the base 1 and the pressure cover 2. In some examples, such as Figures 5-8 and Figures 13-16 As shown, the cable climbing clamp 100 also includes a connecting part 3. The base 1, the pressure cover 2, and the connecting part 3 are integrally injection molded. The connecting part 3 can be bent to realize the rotatable connection between the pressure cover 2 and the base 1, as well as the flipping of the pressure cover 2 relative to the base 1.

[0109] Since the base 1, the pressure cap 2, and the connecting part 3 are integrally injection molded, they are considered as a single component. Compared to the previous design where the base 1 and the pressure cap 2 are rotatably connected via the hinge shaft 8, this reduces the number of parts in the cable climbing clamp 100 and simplifies its manufacturing and assembly processes. For example, the cable climbing clamp 100 can be formed in a single injection molding process, eliminating the need to assemble the base 1 and the pressure cap 2 via the hinge shaft 8.

[0110] The following is an example of how the connecting part 3 can be bent.

[0111] In some examples, the base 1, the pressure cap 2, and the connecting part 3 are made of polypropylene (PP) or polyamide (PA), which can also be called nylon. Among them, PP or PA materials have better flexibility and bending resistance, which is conducive to the bending of the connecting part 3 and allows for multiple bending of the connecting part 3, thereby improving the life of the cable climbing clamp 100.

[0112] In some examples, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting portion 3 includes a first connecting portion 31, a bent portion 32, and a second connecting portion 33 connected in sequence. The first connecting portion 31 is connected to the base 1, and the second connecting portion 33 is connected to the pressure cap 2. The bent portion 32 is used for bending. The thickness of the bent portion 32 is less than the thickness of the first connecting portion 31, and / or the thickness of the second connecting portion 33. For example, as shown... Figure 8 As shown, the thickness of the bent portion 32 is less than the thickness of the first connecting portion 31 and less than the thickness of the second connecting portion 33.

[0113] The technical solution provided in this application embodiment provides a first connecting portion 31 and a second connecting portion 33 on both sides of the bent portion 32, so that the bending position of the connecting portion 3 (i.e., the bent portion 32) is located in the middle of the connecting portion 3. This facilitates the alignment of the two first end walls 19 of the base 1 along the first direction X with the two second end walls 25 of the cover 2 along the first direction X after the cover 2 is flipped over (e.g., ...). Figure 6 (As shown). In addition, by setting a thicker first connecting part 31 to connect to the base 1 and a thicker second connecting part 33 to connect to the pressure cover 2, it is beneficial to increase the connection area between the two ends of the connecting part 3 and the base 1 and the pressure cover 2, improve the connection strength and reliability, and thus improve the life of the cable climbing clamp 100.

[0114] It should be noted that if the connecting part 3 is configured to include only the bent part 32, or, to be understood as including... Figure 8 The thickness of the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 33 is reduced to be the same as the thickness of the bending portion 32. The bending point of the connecting portion 3 is at the connection between the connecting portion 3 and the base 1 (i.e., one end of the connecting portion 3). This makes it difficult to align the two first end walls 19 of the base 1 along the first direction X with the two second end walls 25 of the pressure cover 2 along the first direction X. Furthermore, the connection area between the two ends of the connecting portion 3 and the base 1 and the pressure cover 2 is small, resulting in lower connection strength and hindering the improvement of the lifespan of the cable climbing clamp 100. Of course, this application embodiment does not exclude the use of a technical solution where the connecting portion 3 only includes the bending portion 32.

[0115] In some examples, such as Figure 8As shown, the dimension g of the first connecting portion 31 along the first direction X is equal to the dimension h of the second connecting portion 33 along the first direction X. That is, the bent portion 32 is located at the exact center of the connecting portion 3 along the first direction X. This makes it easier for the two first end walls 19 of the base 1 along the first direction X to align with the two second end walls 25 of the cover 2 along the first direction X after the cover 2 is flipped over.

[0116] In some examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the thickness of the first connecting portion 31 gradually decreases along the direction approaching the bend 32. Similarly, the thickness of the second connecting portion 33 gradually decreases along the direction approaching the bend 32. This prevents abrupt changes in the thickness of the connecting portion 3, avoiding stress concentration and reducing the reliability of the connecting portion 3 in case of breakage.

[0117] In some examples, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, when the bent portion 32 is in an unbent state, the dimension e of the bent portion 32 is less than 1 mm or 1.2 mm in the direction from the first connecting portion 31 to the second connecting portion 33. In this way, the bending position of the bent portion 32 will not deviate too much, which makes it easy for the two first end walls 19 of the base 1 along the first direction X to align with the two second end walls 25 of the pressure cover 2 along the first direction X after the pressure cover 2 is flipped.

[0118] In some examples, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, when the bent portion 32 is in an unbent state, the thickness b of the bent portion 32 is greater than 0.3 mm and less than 1 mm. This facilitates the bending of the bent portion 32 and ensures that the bent portion 32 has sufficient strength.

[0119] In some examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the thickness 'a' of the end of the first connecting part 31 connected to the base 1 is greater than 1 mm, and the thickness 'c' of the end of the second connecting part 33 connected to the pressure cap 2 is greater than 1 mm. This results in a larger connection area between the first connecting part 31 and the base 1, and a larger connection area between the second connecting part 33 and the pressure cap 2, which helps to improve the connection strength between the first connecting part 31 and the base 1, and the connection strength between the second connecting part 33 and the pressure cap 2.

[0120] In other examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the thickness a of the first connecting part 31 connected to one end of the base 1 is greater than 2mm, and the thickness c of the second connecting part 33 connected to one end of the pressure cover 2 is greater than 2mm.

[0121] In some examples, such as Figure 4 and Figure 12As shown, along the second direction Y, the ratio of the dimension f of the connecting part 3 to the dimension W of the base 1 is greater than 0.8, i.e., f / W > 0.8. This results in a larger dimension of the connecting part 3 along the second direction Y, thereby increasing the strength of the connecting part 3 and reducing the possibility of breakage.

[0122] It should be noted that, besides the technical solution of rotatably connecting the base 1 and the pressure cover 2 via the connecting part 3, in other examples, such as... Figures 19-21 As shown, the base 1 and the pressure cap 2 are rotatably connected by a hinge shaft 8. The hinge shaft 8 can also be referred to as a pin or latch. In some examples, the base 1 and the pressure cap 2 are made of PP, PA, or polycarbonate (PC).

[0123] In some examples, such as Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, one end of the base 1 includes two hinged arms 18, which are spaced apart along a second direction Y. The cover 2 includes a hinge portion 24, which is disposed between the two hinged arms 18. A hinge shaft 8 passes through the two hinged arms 18 and the hinge portion 24 to achieve a rotatable connection between the base 1 and the cover 2.

[0124] The following is an exemplary description of how the base 1 and the pressure cover 2 are fixedly connected after the pressure cover 2 is flipped over to contact the base 1.

[0125] In some examples, such as Figure 6 , Figure 15 and Figure 20 As shown, the base 1 includes a first connecting structure 14, and the cover 2 includes a second connecting structure 21. The first connecting structure 14 and the second connecting structure 21 are used to achieve a fixed connection between the cover 2 and the base 1.

[0126] The embodiments of this application do not limit the implementation of the first connection structure 14 and the second connection structure 21. In some examples, such as Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 20 As shown, the first connecting structure 14 includes a first through hole 141, and the second connecting structure 21 includes a second through hole 211. The first through hole 141 and the second through hole 211 are used for the locking screw 4 to pass through, so as to achieve a fixed connection between the base 1 and the cover 2.

[0127] In some examples, such as Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 20As shown, the first connecting structure 14 further includes a positioning groove 142, with a first through hole 141 penetrating the bottom of the positioning groove 142. The second connecting structure 21 further includes a positioning boss 212, with a second through hole 211 penetrating the positioning boss 212, and the positioning boss 212 is used to extend into the positioning groove 142. Wherein, after the positioning boss 212 extends into the positioning groove 142, the alignment of the first through hole 141 and the second through hole 211 is achieved, facilitating the user to pass the locking screw 4 through the first through hole 141 and the second through hole 211.

[0128] The embodiments of this application do not limit the method by which the locking screw 4 fixes the base 1 and the pressure cap 2. In some examples, the second through hole 211 is a threaded hole, in which case the locking screw 4 is screwed into the threaded hole to fix the base 1 and the pressure cap 2.

[0129] In other examples, such as Figures 10-11 and Figure 21 As shown, the first connecting structure 14 also includes a nut receiving groove 143, which is located on the side of the base 1 that is in contact with the wall. A first through hole 141 penetrates the bottom of the nut receiving groove 143. The nut receiving groove 143 is used to receive the nut 5, and the locking screw 4 is used to pass through the first through hole 141 and the second through hole 211 and is threadedly connected to the nut 5.

[0130] In this way, the base 1 and the pressure cap 2 are clamped between the head of the locking screw 4 and the nut 5, thus achieving a fixed connection between the base 1 and the pressure cap 2. Furthermore, by using the nut 5, on the one hand, it is unnecessary to make the second through hole 211 a threaded hole, simplifying the manufacturing process of the base 1. On the other hand, compared to the technical solution of making the second through hole 211 a threaded hole, the connection between the locking screw 4 and the nut 5 is more reliable.

[0131] In some examples, such as Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 21 As shown, the depth of the nut receiving groove 143 is greater than the axial thickness of the nut 5. In this way, after the nut 5 is placed in the nut receiving groove 143, it will not protrude from the side of the base 1 that is used to fit against the wall, thus avoiding interference between the nut 5 and the wall.

[0132] In some examples, such as Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 21 As shown, nut 5 is a hexagonal nut, and therefore the nut receiving groove 143 is a hexagonal groove. In this way, after nut 5 is placed in the nut receiving groove 143, it cannot be rotated, which facilitates the threaded connection between locking screw 4 and nut 5 by rotating locking screw 4.

[0133] In some examples, such as Figure 5 , Figure 11 and Figure 19 As shown, the second connecting structure 21 also includes a first countersunk groove 215, which communicates with the second through hole 211. The first countersunk groove 215 is used to accommodate the head of the locking screw 4.

[0134] Besides the technical solution of using locking screws 4 to fix the base 1 and the cover 2, in other examples, such as Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the first connecting structure 14 includes a slot, and the second connecting structure 21 includes a hook. The hook is used to engage with the slot to achieve a fixed connection between the base 1 and the cover 2. For example, as shown... Figure 15 As shown, the card slot includes a first card slot 144 and a second card slot 145, and the card hook includes a first card hook 213 and a second card hook 214.

[0135] The embodiments of this application do not limit the placement of the first connecting structure 14 and the second connecting structure 21. In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the plurality of cable slots 10 include a plurality of first cable slots 11 and a plurality of second cable slots 12. Along the first direction X, a first connecting structure 14 is arranged between the plurality of first cable slots 11 and the plurality of second cable slots 12. The first cable slots 11 and the second cable slots 12 can be used to clamp the same type of optical cable 200, for example, both can be used to clamp a round optical cable 210 or a butterfly optical cable 220. The first cable slots 11 and the second cable slots 12 can also be used to clamp different types of optical cables 200. For example, as... Figure 6 As shown, the first cable slot 11 is used to clamp the circular optical cable 210, and the second cable slot 12 is used to clamp the butterfly optical cable 220. The first cable slot 11 and the second cable slot 12 can also be used to clamp cables. Alternatively, one of the first cable slot 11 and the second cable slot 12 can be used to clamp optical cables, and the other can be used to clamp cables.

[0136] In the technical solution provided by this application embodiment, when the base 1 is relatively long along the first direction X, if the first connecting structure 14 is located at the end of the base 1 away from the connecting part 3, the distance between the first connecting structure 14 and the connecting part 3 will be too large, which may cause the middle part of the pressure cover 2 to arch, affecting the effect of the pressure cover 2 in pressing the optical cable 200. However, in this application embodiment, the first connecting structure 14 is located between multiple first cable slots 11 and multiple second cable slots 12 (that is, located at a position slightly towards the middle of the base 1), which can provide a better fixing effect for the pressure cover 2 and improve the pressing effect of the pressure cover 2 on the optical cable 200.

[0137] Furthermore, the end of the pressure cap 2 without the connecting part 3 is not connected to the base 1; that is, the end of the pressure cap 2 without the connecting part 3 is a free end. Therefore, the distance between the free end and the first connecting structure 14 cannot be too large (i.e., Figure 4The L2 in the middle should not be too large, otherwise the free end may tilt upwards, which will also affect the pressing effect of the pressure cap 2 on the optical cable 200. At the same time, one end of the pressure cap 2 with the connecting part 3 is connected to the base 1, which can be called the non-free end. Since the non-free end is limited and will not tilt upwards, the distance between the non-free end and the first connecting structure 14 can be larger (i.e., Figure 4 (The distance L1 in the figure can be larger). Based on the above principle, in this embodiment of the application, the distance L1 between the first connecting structure 14 and the connecting part 3 along the first direction X is set to be greater than the distance L2 between the first connecting structure 14 and the end of the base 1 away from the connecting part 3. This can improve the fixing effect of the pressure cover 2 and improve the pressing effect of the pressure cover 2 on the optical cable 200.

[0138] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first cable slot 11 is used to clamp the circular optical cable 210, the second cable slot 12 is used to clamp the butterfly optical cable 220, and multiple first cable slots 11 are arranged between the first connecting structure 14 and the connecting part 3.

[0139] The technical solution provided in this application embodiment has a larger size for the first cable slot 11 than for the second cable slot 12 along the first direction X. Therefore, for the same number of first cable slots 11 and second cable slots 12, the size of the multiple first cable slots 11 is larger than the size of the multiple second cable slots 12. Thus, by arranging multiple first cable slots 11 between the first connecting structure 14 and the connecting portion 3, the aforementioned effect of L1 being greater than L2 can be achieved. Furthermore, the circular optical cable 210 is easier to detach from the cable slot 10; therefore, arranging multiple first cable slots 11 between the first connecting structure 14 and the connecting portion 3 can improve the limiting effect on the circular optical cable 210.

[0140] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, if a first connecting structure 14 located between a plurality of first cable slots 11 and a plurality of second cable slots 12 includes a first through hole 141, then a second connecting structure 21 includes a second through hole 211. Additionally, in some examples, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the first connecting structure 14 further includes a positioning groove 142. The second connecting structure 21 further includes a positioning boss 212.

[0141] To reduce the size occupied by the positioning groove 142 in the first direction X, in some examples, such as Figure 9As shown, along the first direction X, each first cable slot 11 includes two first sidewalls 111, and each second cable slot 12 includes two second sidewalls 121. The first sidewall 111 closest to the positioning groove 142 includes a first segment 112 and a second segment 113 spaced apart along the second direction Y, and the second sidewall 121 closest to the positioning groove 142 includes a third segment 122 and a fourth segment 123 spaced apart along the second direction Y. A portion of the bottom of the positioning groove 142 is located between the first segment 112 and the second segment 113, and a portion of the bottom of the positioning groove 142 is located between the third segment 122 and the fourth segment 123. This reduces the size occupied by the positioning groove 142 alone in the first direction X.

[0142] In some examples, such as Figure 9 As shown, extrusion ribs 101 are provided on the first segment 112 and the second segment 113, and extrusion ribs 101 are also provided on the third segment 122 and the fourth segment 123.

[0143] In some examples, such as Figure 15 As shown, the first connecting structure 14, located between multiple first cable slots 11 and multiple second cable slots 12, includes a first slot 144. The second connecting structure 21 includes a first hook 213, which is used to engage with the first slot 144. This solution can be understood as... Figure 15 The receiving slot 15 and flexible pad 7 are replaced with multiple first cable slots 11.

[0144] In some examples, such as Figure 15 As shown, there are two first hooks 213 and two first slots 144. The two first hooks 213 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y, and the two first slots 144 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. The two first hooks 213 are used to engage with the two first slots 144 respectively.

[0145] Besides the technical solution of placing the first connection structure 14 between multiple first cable slots 11 and multiple second cable slots 12, in other examples, such as Figures 14-16 as well as Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the first connecting structure 14 is located at the end of the base 1 away from the connecting part 3.

[0146] In some examples, such as Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, the first connecting structure 14 located at the end of the base 1 away from the connecting part 3 includes a first through hole 141, and the second connecting structure 21 includes a second through hole 211.

[0147] In other examples, such as Figure 16As shown, the first connecting structure 14, located at the end of the base 1 away from the connecting part 3, includes a second slot 145. The second connecting structure 21 also includes a second hook 214, which is used to engage with the second slot 145.

[0148] It should be noted that, for the technical solution where the base 1 has a receiving groove 15, in some examples, such as... Figure 15 As shown, the first slot 144 is provided on the side wall of the receiving slot 15.

[0149] The following is an exemplary description of how the cable climbing clamp 100 is fixed to the wall.

[0150] In some examples, such as Figure 10 , Figure 16 and Figure 21 As shown, the base 1 also includes two third through holes 16, which are used for wall screws 6 to pass through. The wall screws 6 are used to penetrate into the wall to fix the cable climbing clamp 100 to the wall.

[0151] In some examples, such as Figure 5 , Figure 13 and Figure 19 As shown, the wall-mounting screw 6 is an expansion screw, which includes a screw 61 and an expansion plug 62 for the ring screw 61. During the installation of the cable climbing clamp 100 on the wall, two mounting holes are first drilled in the wall. Then, the two wall-mounting screws 6 are passed through the two third through holes 16 of the base 1, and then into the two mounting holes in the wall. Tightening the screw 61 causes the expansion plug 62 to expand, thus fixing the wall-mounting screw 6 in the hole in the wall and securing the cable climbing clamp 100 to the wall.

[0152] In some examples, such as Figure 6 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 as well as Figure 20 As shown, the base 1 also includes a second recess 17 for accommodating the head of the wall-mounting screw 6. This prevents interference between the pressure cap 2 and the head of the wall-mounting screw 6 when the pressure cap 2 is flipped to contact the base 1.

[0153] In some examples, such as Figure 10 and Figure 21 As shown, along the first direction X, multiple cable slots 10 are arranged between two third through holes 16. That is, the two third through holes 16 are arranged at both ends of the base 1 along the first direction X.

[0154] In some examples, such as Figure 20As shown, one of the two third perforations 16 penetrates the bottom of the positioning groove 142. For example, the second recess 17 connected to this third perforation 16 also penetrates the bottom of the positioning groove 142.

[0155] In other examples, such as Figure 16 As shown, on the projection of the base 1 along the third direction Z (i.e., the thickness direction), the projection of at least one third through hole 16 coincides with the projection of multiple cable slots 10. In this way, at least one third through hole 16 and cable slots 10 share the space in the first direction X, which helps to reduce the size of the cable climbing clamp 100 along the first direction X.

[0156] In some examples, such as Figure 16 As shown, on the projection of the base 1 along the third direction Z, the projection of one of the two third through holes 16 coincides with the projection of the second cable slot 12, and the projection of the other third through hole 16 coincides with the projection of the receiving slot 15.

[0157] In some examples, on the projection of the base 1 along the third direction Z (i.e., the thickness direction), the projection of one of the two third perforations 16 coincides with the projection of the second cable slot 12, and the projection of the other third perforation 16 coincides with the projection of the first cable slot 11. This can be understood as... Figure 15 The receiving slot 15 is replaced with the first cable slot 11.

[0158] In some examples, on the projection of the base 1 along the third direction Z (i.e., the thickness direction), the projection of one of the two third perforations 16 coincides with the projection of the second cable slot 12, while the projection of the other third perforation 16 is offset from the projection of the cable slot 10. That is, only one third perforation 16 coincides with the position of the cable slot 10.

[0159] In some examples, such as Figure 17 As shown, when the projection of the third perforation 16 coincides with the projection of the cable slot 10, each cable slot 10 includes two sidewalls along the first direction X. Two adjacent sidewalls belonging to different cable slots 10 include two spaced-apart portions along the second direction Y, with the space between the third perforation 16 and the two portions opposite.

[0160] In some examples, such as Figure 16 As shown, when the projection of the third perforation 16 coincides with the projection of the receiving groove 15, the third perforation 16 penetrates the bottom wall of the receiving groove 15. The flexible gasket 7 also includes a clearance hole 71, which is disposed opposite to the third perforation 16.

[0161] The following description, in conjunction with specific accompanying drawings, illustrates three types of cable climbing clamps 100 provided in the embodiments of this application and their corresponding usage processes.

[0162] Figures 4-11 A schematic diagram of the first type of cable climbing clamp 100 provided in this application embodiment is shown. Figures 4-11 As shown, the base 1 and the pressure cover 2 are connected by a connecting part 3. The base 1 is provided with multiple first cable slots 11 and multiple second cable slots 12. A first connecting structure 14 is disposed between the multiple first cable slots 11 and multiple second cable slots 12. The multiple first cable slots 11 and multiple second cable slots 12 are arranged between two third through holes 16.

[0163] Figures 12-18 A schematic diagram of a second type of cable climbing clamp 100 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figures 12-18 As shown, the base 1 and the pressure cap 2 are connected by a connecting part 3. The base 1 is provided with a receiving groove 15 (or a flexible pad 7) and a plurality of second cable slots 12. The groove wall of the receiving groove 15 is provided with a first slot 144, and the end of the base 1 without the connecting part 3 is provided with a second slot 145.

[0164] Figures 19-21 A schematic diagram of a third type of cable climbing clamp 100 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figures 19-21 As shown, the base 1 and the pressure cover 2 are connected by a hinge shaft 8. The base 1 is provided with multiple first cable slots 11 and multiple second cable slots 12. A first connecting structure 14 is provided at the end of the base 1 not connected to the pressure cover 2. The multiple first cable slots 11 and multiple second cable slots 12 are arranged between two third through holes 16.

[0165] It should be noted that in the first and second types of cable wall-climbing clamps 100 described above, the base 1 and the pressure cover 2 are rotatably connected via the connecting part 3. Alternatively, the base 1 and the pressure cover 2 can be rotatably connected via the hinge shaft 8. Similarly, in the third type of cable wall-climbing clamp 100 described above, the base 1 and the pressure cover 2 are rotatably connected via the hinge shaft 8. Alternatively, the connection via the connecting part 3 can be used instead. Furthermore, the receiving groove 15 and flexible pad 7 provided on the base 1 in the second type of cable wall-climbing clamp 100 can be replaced with multiple first cable slots 11.

[0166] The cable climbing clamp 100 provided in this application embodiment has a dimension L (i.e., length) along the first direction X greater than 40mm and less than 110mm, a dimension W (i.e., width) along the second direction Y greater than 18mm and less than 30mm, and a dimension S (i.e., thickness) along the third direction Z greater than 10mm and less than 20mm.

[0167] For example, the length L of the first type of cable wall-climbing clamp 100 is 80±5mm, the width W is 23±3mm, and the thickness S is 13mm±3mm. The length L of the second type of cable wall-climbing clamp 100 is 45±5mm, the width W is 23±3mm, and the thickness S is 16mm±3mm. The length L of the third type of cable wall-climbing clamp 100 is 96±5mm, the width W is 23±3mm, and the thickness S is 13mm±3mm.

[0168] The following is an exemplary description of the use of the cable climbing clamp 100.

[0169] Two mounting holes are drilled in the wall. Two wall screws 6 are used to pierce the two third through holes 16 of the base 1 and the two mounting holes in the wall, respectively. Rotating the screws 61 causes the expansion plugs 62 to expand and be fixed in the mounting holes in the wall, thus securing the cable climbing clamp 100 to the wall. Then, the optical cable 200 or cable is placed in the cable slot 10. Next, the pressure cap 2 is flipped to contact the base 1 and connected to it. The pressure cap 2 then covers or seals multiple cable slots 10, preventing the optical cable 200 or cable from coming out of the cable slots 10. In the process of connecting the pressure cap 2 to the base 1, for the snap-fit ​​connection, simply pressing the pressure cap 2 achieves a fixed connection between the pressure cap 2 and the base 1. For the connection between the pressure cap 2 and the base 1 via locking screws 4, the locking screws 4 are passed through the first through hole 141 and the second through hole 211, and rotating the locking screws 4 creates a threaded connection between the locking screws 4 and the nut 5.

[0170] This application also provides a cable assembly. The cable assembly includes the aforementioned cable wall-climbing clamp 100 and a cable disposed in the cable slot 10 of the cable wall-climbing clamp. The cable includes an optical fiber 200 or a power cable.

[0171] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
