Long span strand clamp

A clamp for supporting a wire from a strand, comprising:

• a first clamp portion having a first inner side;
• a second clamp portion having a second inner side, wherein:
• an opening sized to receive the strand is defined between the first inner side and the second inner side when the first clamp portion is in proximity of the second clamp portion, and
• the first inner side and the second inner side contact the strand when the strand is received within the opening to connect the clamp to the strand,
• a support portion configured to support the wire and attached to at least one of the first clamp portion or the second clamp portion such that the wire is supported from the strand via the clamp;
• and
• a fastener configured to cooperate with the first clamp portion and the second clamp portion and movable from a first position to a second position, wherein:
• the support portion and the strand both extend from a first end of the clamp to a second end of the clamp;
• when the fastener is in the first position, the first inner side is separated from the second inner side by a first distance to facilitate relative motion between the strand and at least one of the first clamp portion or the second clamp portion, and
• when the fastener is in the second position, the fastener is separated from the support portion, and the first inner side is separated from the second inner side by a second distance less than the first distance to inhibit the relative motion between the strand and at least one of the first clamp portion or the second clamp portion.
