the larger grommet flanges are positioned to the
first slot of the cable entry port with one grommet
and the last entry port slot with the other
grommet. Refer to

Move the cable until the sheath opening is even
with or just past the retention trough.

Lubricate the cable clamp over the molded
gaskets. Lubricate the interior of the cable clamp
where there will be contact with the grommets.

Position the cable clamp over the cable and
grommets that are in the entry ports. Be sure to
position the cable clamp so that the grommet
flanges are lined up properly to the appropriate
slot. Press the cable clamp by hand to assure for
proper seating. Tighten the cable clamp bolts by
alternating in a crossing pattern to lower the
cable gradually and evenly to proper grommet
compression. Assure that the grommet has
compressed around the cable and that there is
no apparent seam or gaps between the cable
and grommet surface. Refer to

CABLE SHEATH AND CSM RETENTION
11.01
Attach the c
able to the closures’ center section
by installing a hose clamp over the cable, sheath
retention clamp and cable retention grommet.
Sheath retention clamp should be oriented as
shown. Do not fully tighten the cable clamp at
this time. Refer to
Figure 5
– Attaching Cable
and Central Strength Member to Center
Section.

Strength Member to Center Section
NOTE: Cable retention clamp must be
positioned as shown.
NOTE: Install Express or Feeder
cables before Drop Cable to
facilitate installation of Cable
Sheath Clamps
