10 advantages of the Cage Clamp

As the inventor of spring clamp technology and a pioneer of modern connection technology, WAGO has been offering a simple, fast and maintenance-free connection system for every application since 1951. The idea behind it: Clamping conductors using spring force - and dispensing with screw technology - a technology that is now the global standard and helps users to master even tricky wiring tasks. Find out more about the advantages of spring clamping technology in everyday electrician work here.

Advantage 1: SIMPLE – Easy-to-Use Design

Open the clamping unit, insert a conductor, release clamp – done! With the spring clamp, the conductor is secured by spring force, has a defined contact zone and can be easily released again by the spring mechanism. This technology is particularly user-friendly and easy to use. In addition, the universal connection, invented by WAGO in 1977 and now known as CAGE CLAMP®, allows all conductor types to be easily connected. It doesn't get any easier.

Advantage 2: FAST – Time and Cost Savings

WAGO's spring clamps are not only easy but also fast! They make connections in no time at all, which can save you significant time and labor costs. By automatically adjusting the spring force to the conductor size and type, it no longer needs to be prepared – thanks to the shorter wiring time, you reduce your effort for installing and maintaining systems and devices.

Advantage 3: SECURE – Optimal Conductor Retention

Safety is the top priority for the WAGO spring clamp: The clamping force adjusts automatically to the conductor so that the stripped conductor is pressed against the current bar in the defined contact zone – without damage. This technology ensures an optimal, secure grip. The advantage: Spring clamps cannot loosen on their own and guarantee a consistent, secure connection. In addition, they eliminate the risk of incorrect operation and can withstand overloads.
