Securing Cables with Glass Tape
In this example, glass fiber-reinforced tape or glass filament tape is used. The
taping should be continuous from the point the cables enter the MCC to the
point the cables are terminated. It is important that cables are wrapped several
times for additional strength. Cable slack should be drawn up during wrapping so
that individual cables are supported by the tape as a single mass.

Securing Cables with Nylon Rope
In this example, cables are lashed in a ‘figure 8’-type configuration by using nylon
rope. The rope lashing should be continuous from the point the cables enter the
MCC to the point the cables are terminated. Other types of rope lashing may be
acceptable. Cable slack should be drawn up during wrapping so that individual
cables are supported by the rope as a single mass.
