Cable Strain Relief Feature on all P62-Series models
The Magnum P62-Series Hardened Switches are designed to use in extended
temperature environments, which qualifying them to be used in roadside traffic data collection
and control stations, above-the-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 P62-Series Hardened Switches have a tie wrap holder as part of the base
plate of the unit 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

provides a more reliable and robust installation and operation.
