Connector components
The full size hardened connectors and adapters provide sealed environmental protection. The basic components of the
drop cable connector are shown in the figure above. The dust cap threads onto the connector coupling nut. The O-ring
on the connector body provides a tight seal when the dust cap is in place. A pulling eye is provided in the end of the
dust cap for pulling the drop cable through conduit.
Note:
Do not exceed a pulling force of 445 N (100 lbs) and when connected, don’t exceed cable pull of 111 N (25
lbs).
