Cable preparation
• To prepare the cable for attachment to a Euroblock connector, strip the wire as
shown in the illustration, and use stranded wire to make connections. With a
Euroblock connection, the stranded wire may be prone to breakage because of
metal fatigue due to the weight of the cable or due to vibration. When rack-mount-
ing your equipment, use a lacing bar when possible to bundle and fasten the cables.
• If cables will be frequently connected and disconnected, as in the case of a portable
installation, we recommend that you use ferrules with insulation sleeves. Use a fer-
rule whose conductor portion has an external diameter of 1.3 mm or less, and a
length of approximately 5 mm (such as the AI0,5-6WH made by the Phoenix Con-
tact corporation).
• If you use stranded wire, do not tin (plate with solder) the exposed end.
