Cable Mounting and Routing

Choose a green cable clamp that is close to the same size but 

slightly bigger than the cable you plan to mount. 

The difference in size can be made up by either wrapping the 

cable with some of the provided grommet tape, or laying a small 

strip of grommet tape in the bottom side of the cable clamp shell.

Each panel comes with two types of cable mounting brackets. One is used for applications where you have access to 

pre-drilled and tapped holes in the back of the frame, and one is for instances where these holes are not available. 

Note: 

The standard frame Clearfield offers already has rear mounting holes.

Frames with rear 

mounting holes

Frames without rear 

mounting holes

Patch Only panels have tails which may need to be routed through the frame and up to the appropriate ladder 

racks or down into the raised floor before securing the cable to the frame.

1.

2.

3.

Place one cable clamp on each side of the cable, and using the 

two mounting screws provided, secure the cable to the cable 

mounting bracket.

Note: 

The angle of cable mounting can be adjusted by pivoting 

the bracket on one of the mounting holes and securing it down 

with the other. A greater range of angles can be achieved by  

flipping the bracket to the other side.
