Sealing Cable Entry Locations
Seal the cable entry locations to protect the cabinet against moisture, dust, pests, and other contaminants. Use a sili-
con-based sealant or comparable compound.
Warning:
Seal all cable entry locations immediately after cables are installed to prevent ground moisture from condensing
inside the cabinet and damaging equipment. This practice is particularly important in humid regions.
Failure to take these precautions will void cabinet warranty.
ALERT!
The sealant package does not require tools to open or mix the compound. Do not insert tools into the
plastic nozzle or pierce the sealant package.
To seal the cable entry locations
Get the package of sealant compound from the installation kit.
Mix the sealant compound inside its package per the manufacturer instructions printed on the package.
Open the cabinet's splice compartment door.
Apply the sealant around open areas in the entry ducts where the cables/conduit enter the cabinet. Seal all
gaps around the cables, inside and outside of the conduit. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to apply the
sealant.
CAUTION!
Check to ensure that all gaps are completely sealed. Gaps allow penetration of moisture, insects,
rodents, and other contaminants that could damage equipment.
