Cutting the main drop cable
Cut the main drop cable (from the top LPU to the bottom LPU) and fit hoisting grips.
Warning
Failure to obey the following precautions may result in injury or death:
•
Use the proper hoisting grip for the cable being installed. If the wrong hoisting grip is used,
slippage or insufficient gripping strength will result.
•
Do not reuse hoisting grips. Used grips may have lost elasticity, stretched, or become
weakened. Reusing a grip can cause the cable to slip, break, or fall.
The minimum requirement is one hoisting grip for each 60 m (200 ft) of cable.
1 Cut drop cable to length required from top LPU to bottom LPU.
2 Slide one or more hoisting grips onto the top end of the drop cable:
3 Secure the hoisting grip to the cable using a special tool, as recommended by the
manufacturer.
Terminating the main drop cable
Terminate the main drop cable (from the top LPU to the bottom LPU) with an RJ45 connector
and EMC strain relief cable gland at each end.
