Cables in Conduit

 

What is a Conduit Strut Clamp?

Before we delve into the specifics of the UNICLAMP, let's first define a conduit strut clamp. A conduit strut clamp is a clamp that secures electrical cables and conduits to a strut channel. These clamps are essential for maintaining the organization, safety, and stability of electrical systems. They ensure that conduits and cables are secured firmly preventing movement and reducing the risk of damage to the electrical wires.
