Run the cable to the NID
Route the cable from the attachment point to the entry point for the NID. The path should follow the architectural
details of the residence, running down at the corners, across at beams and seams in the siding.
Use cable clips to attach cable to the house. A variety of screw-in or nail-in clips are available for wood and mason-
ry. Special snap-in clips are available for vinyl and aluminum siding. Never staple cable.
Place your first clip so as to allow for a small drip loop. Then place the clips about every 3 feet (1 m) for vertical
runs and no further apart than 18 in. (0.5 m) on horizontal runs.
Make sure you do not kink or bend the cable tighter than the recommended bend radius (usually 10x its outer
diameter - check your cable specs to be certain).
The drop cable can now be attached
and spliced per CommScope’s
