Standard Recom m ended Procedure 003-1002-BEN | Issue 4 | January 2019 | Page 5 of 26
CAUTION:
This preconnectorised pulling grip has a maximum tensile rating of 100 pounds (44.5
kg). NEVER EXCEED THIS TENSION DURING INSTALLATION. The pulling grip has a m inim um bend
radius of 18 inches (45.72 cm). Refer to the EDGE8™ speci
cation sheet for cable/grip dimensions and
appropriate duct sizes.
CAUTION:
Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces. Consult the
cable speci
cation sheet for the cable you are inst alling. Do not bend the cable more sharply than the
minimum recommended bend radius. Do not apply more pulling force to the cable t han speci
ed. Do
not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause damage that can alter the transmission
characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be replaced.
4.2.1
Trunk Cable Placem ent w ith the Pulling Grip
NOTE:
This procedure assumes that a pull line has
been placed in the duct route and that the
equipment necessary t o maintain the bend-
radius of the pulling grip is in position.
Step 1:
If necessary, remove t he corrugated reel
from it s protective shipping box or pallet .
Step 2:
Place the cable reel on a reel stand so that
the pulling grip/ cable w ill pay-o
the top
of the reel (Figure
4).
NOTE:
Cables greater than or equal to 22.9 m (75
ft)
ship in a bag in a box.
Step 3:
At tach a pull line to the pulling loop at the end of the
sleeve (Figure
5).
Step 4:
Place the cable using your company’s standard practice,
taking care not to exceed either the minimum bend
radius or tensile rat ing of t he grip.
