Making cable loops/clamps

[10sacer]

I do most of the signage for 22 area YMCA branches and they have a need for loop cable assemblies of various lengths depending on install location. I need to be able to make the cables on site as they literally stand there and say up or down to determine finished height.

Are there any sort of mini cable clamps with allen keys such as these (see photos) I have found in Europe that can make this easier than lugging the crimping tool and trying to crimp those mini ferrules from Lowes?

Two of the images use allen keys and the one with diagram is an actual compression system that looks pretty neat.

Using 1/32" steel wire

Thanks

wouldn't this work all you would need is a wrench or ratchet

Nope. Thats for much larger rope/cables. My cable is only 1/32". I need some sort of micro clamp tha isn't a ferrule.

Yes, and MBS. They don't have what I need which is a very small way to join the cable and make a loop without a ferrule.

I get a catalog periodically that has all that kind of stuff in it. I've used it doing installs in department stores (that the stuff was all shipped in and we just put up.) Now if only I could remember who sends the catalogs (which I always throw away because I never buy that kind of stuff...)

Probably Grainger

I believe this is what you are looking for.

Thanks, yeah - I saw that one. Its just fairly bulky for my application. I actually just ordered one from England that for some reason is not available in the states.

Thanks, but my cables are really thin - 1/32"

Can you not go up to 1/8th cable?

Can you not go up to 1/8th cable?

Nope, has to match what is already in all the branches for other uses

have you looked at Outwater Plastics?

Kinter.com is the place. They are a retail display company. They have 1/8", 1/16", and 1/32" cable systems, and have several styles of cable loop adjusters. None of theirs use tools to adjust though.

Here are a couple of options. This site is specific to racing go karts, but you can probably find them elsewhere. They are used as throttle cable clamps.
