Abstract
Disclosed herein are dead end fittings for securing cables with a non-circular external profile. The dead end fittings include an arcuate portion, a first helical leg that extends from one end of the arcuate portion, and a second helical leg that extends from an opposite end of the arcuate portion. Each of the first and second helical legs define a non-circular internal profile that matches the non-circular external profile of the cable.

An apparatus comprising:
- an elongated fitting including an arcuate portion, a first helical leg that extends from one end of the arcuate portion, and a second helical leg that extends from an opposite end of the arcuate portion;
- wherein each of the first and second helical legs define a non-circular internal profile.
An apparatus for supporting a cable, the cable having a non-circular external profile, the apparatus comprising:
- an elongated fitting including an arcuate portion, a first helical leg that extends from one end of the arcuate portion and is wrapped around the cable, and a second helical leg that extends from an opposite end of the arcuate portion and is wrapped around the cable,
- wherein each of the first and second helical legs define a double helix disposed around the cable, the double helix having a non-circular internal profile, and
- wherein the non-circular internal profile of the double helix matches the non-circular external profile of the cable.
A method comprising:
- providing an elongated fitting including an arcuate portion, a first helical leg extending from one end of the arcuate portion, and a second helical leg extending from an opposite end of the arcuate portion;
- and
- forming a non-circular internal profile in the first and second helical legs.
