A system, device, and method for improved cable tensioning of intrinsically safe horizontal cable tensioning. A frame having a worm gear operatively associated with both a moveable shaft and a drum in such a way that in an engaged position a rotational motion applied to the worm gear is transferred to the drum, wherein the moveable shaft is movable between a disengaged position and the engaged position, rotationally locking together the drum and the worm gear so that the drum will not rotate until the rotational motion is applied to the worm gear; and a strap operatively associated with the drum. The strap associates with the cable in need of tensioning.
