I need the strain relief that holds the cable to my house. The clerks
at Lowes/HD have no idea what I'm talking about. It crimps to the
cable and is then attached to the side of the house, giving some slack
in the cable. The electrical service has these too, but the one for
my cable service was hit by a branch. And I'm not a cable customer so
I doubt they'll rush out here to fix this for a non-customer. Right
now the cable is just hanging down on the ground.

Electrical supply store only?

if you're not a cable customer, then just cut it down and be done.

I thing they are called a wedge cable grip or something like that. And
as you found out you need to go to a real supply house to get them.

Not possible, since it originates from the middle of a cable 12ft off
the ground.

Even if you're not a cable customer, their plant is creating a safety
hazard on your property so they should fix it. An unterminated cable
could affect service for your neighbors. They'll probably respond with
a sales pitch, but you're under no obligation to buy anything.

Yeah, I called and they definitely wanted me to subscribe. Cable is
too expensive, though. They're sending someone out to fix it in a
week. Good enough I guess.
