APPENDIX A

Drop Port Cables

IMPORTANT:

If the cable used is made with a metal central/strength member, use the grounding connector as

for the armored cable, with the extension bracket to strain-relieve the central/strength member

and ground it.

Step 1:

Remove nuts from the ground clamp.

Step 2:

Attach the extension bracket, then the top plate (Figure 29). Tap

the top plate to set the teeth into the cable.

Step 3:

Tighten clamp using one nut.

Step 4: Trim the central/strength member slightly shorter than the top of

the extension bracket (Figure 30).

(When strength member is metal, bend it over the slots in the

extension bracket as shown in the inset in

trim excess strength member.)

Step 5:

Wrap the strength member yarn around the restraint cap stud

(Figure 31). Position the cap behind the extension bracket.

Strength member

TPA-5994

For small strength members (less than 3mm in diameter)

Step 1:

Insert the restraint cap threaded stud through the upper hole in the strain-relief bracket, capturing

the strength member between the two.

Step 2:

With the strength member behind the bracket, install a nut on the restraint cap threaded stud

(Figure 31).

Step 3:

Secure the cap to the extension bracket using the supplied nut (Figure 31). Confirm that all buffer

tubes are clear of the strength members and tighten securely.
