APPENDIX A
Drop Port Cables
IMPORTANT: If the cable used is made with a metal central/strength member, use the grounding connector as
for the armored cable, with the extension bracket to strain-relieve the central/strength member
and ground it.
Step 1: Remove nuts from the ground clamp.
Step 2: Attach the extension bracket, then the top plate (Figure 29) . Tap
the top plate to set the teeth into the cable.
Step 3: Tighten clamp using one nut.
Step 4: Trim the central/strength member slightly shorter than the top of
the extension bracket (Figure 30) .
(When strength member is metal, bend it over the slots in the
extension bracket as shown in the inset in Figure 30 and then
trim excess strength member.)
Step 5: Wrap the strength member yarn around the restraint cap stud
(Figure 31) . Position the cap behind the extension bracket.
For small strength members (less than 3mm in diameter)
Step 1: Insert the restraint cap threaded stud through the upper hole in the strain-relief bracket, capturing
the strength member between the two.
Step 2: With the strength member behind the bracket, install a nut on the restraint cap threaded stud
(Figure 31) .
Step 3: Secure the cap to the extension bracket using the supplied nut (Figure 31) . Confirm that all buffer
tubes are clear of the strength members and tighten securely.
