4.4 Securing the Cable
CAUTION: Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces.
Consult the cable specication sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend the cable
more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius. Do not apply more pulling force
to the cable than specied. Do not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause
damage that can alter the transmission characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be
replaced.
CAUTION: If you are installing outside plant cable or temperature uctuates widely along
any part of the cable, the central member must be strain-relieved. Failure to do so may result
in damage to the cable as temperature varies. If the entire length of cable is located in a
controlled environment where temperature uctuation is minimal, it is not necessary to secure
the central members. The cable can be strain-relieved by Sheath retention alone..
For cable sheath retention only, use the universal cable clamp (UCC) or cable ties.
4.4.1 Using the Universal Cable Clamp (UCC)
Step 1: Attach the UCC clamshell to the strain-relief bracket as shown in Figure 6 to allow
installation of a second UCC if necessary.
