Separating Cable and Strand
Measure from the clamp center bolt out 24 inches plus the width of the device plus another 24 inches beyond
the device. Mark the cable at these locations for separation. Consult your company methods and procedures for
equipment placement prior to installation.
Use the appropriate size web slitting tool to separate the steel and cable.
Note: 6” straight cable behind connector
Note: 12” to bend
Note: 24” without expansion loop
Temporarily hang the device on the strand and cut the cable center of the device or if the device location was
marked cut in the center.
Note: Do not remove any cable at this time.
Expansion loops are optional. An expansion loop will provide excess cable for future terminations.
