Install Cables and Cable Guides
Cable Location
Every system has a set of cables that run through the
cable guides that attach underneath each bulkhead.
The Cable Guides clamp around the cable and bolt to
the bottom of the bulkheads. The Cable Guide is
universal and fits all bulkhead and cable
configurations. Two Cable Guide assemblies are
used on every middle bulkhead assembly (Figure 27).
The cables are tentioned between the Backstop and
Front Cable Anchor. The Front Cable Anchor is
mounted under the first bay.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Front Support Assembly
is not attached to the cable.
Systems using a PCB, Compact Backstop or
Flush Mount Backstop.
Systems using a PCB, Flush Mount or Compact
Backstop use 1” [25mm] diameter cable (Figure 28).
These Cables are identified by the loop and shackle
on one end and a threaded stud swaged to the other
end. (The shackle is not used on the Flush Mount
Backstop).
Systems with Wide Flange Backstops
Systems with Wide Flange Backstops use a
1 1/8” [28mm] diameter cable (Figure 29). These
cables have a threaded stud swaged to the rear end
and a large “open swage socket” on the front end. A
Key is also included which limits rotation of the cable
during tensioning at the Rear Cable Anchor.
