Spider-Cable Clamps |

The “spider,” a set of multiplexed outlets attached to a long, grid-mounted cable, allows an electrician to use any batten as an electric.

This article describes a quick and safe solution to that problem — the spider-cable clamp. The spider-cable clamp consists of two pieces of 2×4 joined at one end by a bent strap hinge, and at the other by a Roto Lock® mounted on pieces of steel flat stock. See Figures 1 and 2.
