where temperature fluctuation is minimal, securing the cable sheath is adequate strain-relief.

handling chemicals and cutting fiber. Pieces of glass fiber are very sharp and can
damage the eye easily.
CAUTION:
Wear safety gloves o protect hands from accidental injury when using
sharp instruments.
Step 1:
Attach the cable to the strain-relief bracket with cable ties in two places as shown in
