Securing Cables
Figures 4 and 5 show the correct and incorrect ways for installing
cables. Allow a sufficient radius to ensure a proper strain relief. The
actual radius will depend on the cables being used. It is recommended
that cables be secured to the accelerometer mounting surface to
minimize cable and connector fatigue failures. Secure cables with a
cable clamp.
