length required in tray
Both the aramid or fiberglass yarn and
the central member are secured with a
U-shaped washer and a bolt. Wrap yarn
between the U-shaped washer and the
side of the bracket. Insert the metallic
central member between the U-shaped
washer and the flat washer. Tighten
the nut.

instructions for the cable you are installing.

7.3 Insert the square neck bolt from one side of the
strain-relief bracket. Wrap the aramid yarn around
the bolt on the opposite side of the strain-relief
bracket from which the bolt was inserted. Place Ushaped
washer over the square neck bolt. Insert the
central member in the U-shaped washer and place the
2 flat washers on top and secure with the wing nut
provided.

Overtightening may cause macro/micro bending and
damage the cable.
