Securing Cables with Nylon Rope
In this example, cables are lashed in a ‘figure 8’-type configuration by using
nylon rope. Make sure the rope lashing is continuous from the point the cables
enter the MCC to the point the cables are terminated. Other types of rope
lashing can be acceptable. Draw up cable slack during wrapping so that
individual cables are supported by the rope as a single mass.

Securing Cables with Hardwood
In this example, a hardwood brace (maple hardwood) made for the specific
application is used. Holes are bored approximately the size of the cable
diameter. Several bolt holes are also bored the breadth of the hardwood brace.
The brace is cut in two pieces and is used as a clamp to secure the cables.
Through bolts are inserted into the brace and tightened so that cables are held
tightly in place.
