5.8 Installing Wall-mount Cable Glands
for Cable Plugs with Connector
Cable
The connector cables have to be installed in such a way
that they are free from undue tensile, pressure, flexing
and torsion loads.
We recommend using the UIC KK D2 wall-mount cable
gland for installation on the vehicle body.
Preparing measures
For the installation of wall-mount cable glands, a
mounting hole with 30 mm diameter has to be provid-
ed in the vehicle wall.
