Abstract: A tangent clamp includes a body to be supported by a structure and to permit cables to proceed along a tangential direction relative to the structure. The tangent clamp may include at least one actuatable clamping portion associated with the body to support a respective one of the cables. The body is configured to permit at least one additional actuatable clamping portion to be provided upon the body. The tangent clamp may include a plurality of separately actuatable clamping portions associated with the body. The body may be provided as multiple portions. The multiple portions are relatively movable to permit the body to be mounted upon the structure.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle for mounting a clamp to a line includes a body, a first propeller attached to the body, a second propeller attached to the body, and a third propeller attached to the body. The body is between at least one of the first propeller and the second propeller, the first propeller and the third propeller, or the second propeller and the third propeller. A guide is attached to the body and is configured to support the clamp for mounting to the line by flying the unmanned aerial vehicle toward the line. The guide is configured to support the clamp such that an imaginary clamp line between a first jaw of the clamp and a second jaw of the clamp when the clamp is in an arrested position is non-parallel to a plane intersecting the first propeller, the second propeller, and the third propeller.
