• In general this cable will handle similarly to coaxial cable, and similar installation techniques apply. All cables
are individually serialized, be sure to write down the cable serial number for future reference.
•
Leave the protective packaging around the Fibre tails and power conductors during hoisting and securing the
cable.
• Be sure that the Direct breakout is not damaged by attachment of a hoisting grip or during the hoisting process.
Attach a hoisting grip on the jacketed cable no less than .3 m (1 ft) below the fibre breakout point. Prevent the
fibre tails and power conductors from undue movement during hoisting by securing with tie ropes every 1 m (3 ft)
to the hoisting line.
• During hoisting ensure that there is a free path and that the cable breakouts will not be snagged on tower
members or other obstacles.
• Installation temperature range is -40
°
C to +80
°
C (40
°
F to +176
°
F).
• Minimum cable bend radii can be found on-line in our eCatalog section at www.commscope.com.
• Maximum cable tensile load can be found on-line in our eCatalog section at www.commscope.com.

CommScope Lace-Up Hoisting Grip 19256B-C required for 808, 1208, and 1810 installations.
•
CommScope Lace-Up Hoisting Grip 29958-C required for 810 and 1210 installations.
•
CommScope Lace-Up Hoisting Grip 29961-C required for 1808 installations.
•
Hoisting Grip should be anchored to the support structure after the hangers are installed.
• During final connections to RRU, do not bend the fibre ends tighter than 30 mm (1.2 in) bend radius or you take
the risk of breaking the glass fibres.
Hybrid Fibre Cables weigh more than traditional coaxial cables. Be sure to follow proper hoisting and
attachment procedures.
