temperature environments, which qualifying them to be used in roadside traffic data collection
and control stations, plenums and ceiling locations in commercial buildings, etc. They are
usually mounted vertically so that the cables hang out the bottom. There is a cable strain relief
feature provided as part of the package design
The Magnum P62F-Series Switches have a tie wrap holder as part of the base plate of
the unit for use for cable strain relief. The strain-relief feature is applicable to power cables as
well as to Ethernet cables, both twisted-pair copper and fiber. Cable tie-wraps can secure the
cables and can be attached to the base plate HOOK provided at the bottom-front of the unit. In
the event that the attached cable is pulled, the tie-wrap cable strain relief feature protects the
cable connection from coming loose. This feature provides a more reliable and robust
installation and operation.
