Securing the Cables
After the SBV5606 chassis has been mounted on the wall, installers must secure
all cables in the M-eMTA using the cable strain relief bracket. Follow the steps
below to secure the telephone cables, data cables, RF cables, and power cables
for UPS connections.
The following tools are required:
• UL-approved Liquid-Tuff™ Type LFMC ¾” flexible conduit hose (for
conduits 1 and 2)
• UL-approved Liquid-Tuff™ Type LFMC 1” flexible conduit hose (for
conduit 3)
• Large wire cutter or tin-snips
• (2) 5” Nylon Cable Ties (40 pound tensile strength)
• Wire cutter
• 4 mm slotted flathead screwdriver
•Pliers
Installers must place the AC power cable into a ¾” conduit hose prior to
cabling. Refer to the NEC guidelines and/or local regulations.
Securing the AC Facility Power Cable
Follow these steps to secure the AC facility power cable:
1. Use the bushing to secure the AC power cable to the cable strain relief
bracket.
2. Place the strain relief bushing around the power cable.
3. Squeeze the clasp to close the bushing.
4. Slide the bushing down the power cable into the first opening on the strain
relief bracket.
5. Push the bushing into place by using the pliers to compress the clasp while
inserting the bushing into bracket hole.
6. Verify that the cable is secure in the strain relief bracket.
Securing the Cables Using Cable Ties
Follow these steps to secure the cables using the cable ties:
1. Measure the amount of flexible conduit hose to cover the length from conduit
glands on the chassis to the boundary where the cables enter the premises.
Any cabling outside of the premises should be contained inside a conduit.
2. Feed appropriate cables through flexible conduit hose and conduit glands into
interior of the chassis.
3. Pull the cables for each conduit up vertically 1.5” creating slack.
4. Thread two cable ties through the strain relief bracket.
5. Apply two cable ties to bundle near conduit couplings.
