What's the difference between this and an adel clamp?

[alpinelakespilot2000]

I'm looking for a clamp to hold the cable that attaches to my parking brake. It will be the clamp that holds the cable in the right orientation to actuate the brake lever. In Van's catalog they have the CTA-740 cable clamp but no picture. (Although I'm using a t-handle cable rather than the 740, the cable housing is the same.) What's the difference between this clamp and a plain adel clamp? Does it somehow grip the cable housing better or something?

Van's calls for an adel clamp to secure the cabin heat cable (which uses the CT-740) so should I use the same to hold my parking brake cable or is the one in their catalog somehow superior? (It's $10.50!)

Thanks.

I would think that one of these would do for less $$$....

It would be standard practice.

I used a standard adel clamp for the parking brake cable. Seems to work fine. There's not that much force required to operate the parking brake.

Steve- I just noticed that you and I are almost tied on post count.
