Cable clamps are mechanical devices. It is a type of clip, that defines a route for one or more cables along a building wall or within instrumentation, control or other types of the electrical enclosure. They are used for many applications including carpentry, furniture making, woodworking, welding, construction, and metalworking.

It helps to direct the routes of several cable wires. Cable clamps are versatile tools, that serve to temporarily hold work securely in place. Clamps are designed to bind or to press two or more parts together so as to hold them firmly. various instruments or appliances having parts brought together for holding or compressing something, in such cases, cable clamps are really useful.

2. Operating temperature of the cables and the ambient temperatures.

3. Material compatibility. i.e the structure to that cable clamp is going to be fastened.

4. Type of installation, such as horizontal runs, vertical runs, complex routes.

5. Cable overall size, shape and configuration. (flat, trefoil.etc)

6. Environmental conditions, indoor, outdoor, chemicals, salt air, etc.
