NOTE: Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces.

Consult the cable specification sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not

bend the cable more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius.

Do not apply more pulling force to the cable than specified. Do not crush

the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause damage than can alter the

transmission characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be replaced.

The cable may be strain-relieved using the Universal Cable Clamp (UCC) or cable ties.

3.5.1

Using the UCC

Step 1:

Attach the UCC clampshell to the strain-relief bracket as shown in Figure 5 to allow

installation of a second UCC if necessary.

Step 2:

Follow installation instructions provided with the UCC kit to secure the cable. Allow room

on the bracket to strain-relieve the strength member, if necessary. Do not tighten yet to

allow for cable adjustment if necessary.

Step 3:

Secure cable to cable entry plate using a cable tie. Do not tighten cable tie.
