Figure 4-17 and Figure 4-18 illustrate the preferred construction of cable and the method of 
clamping. The outer sheath of the cable should be stripped back enough to allow the clamp to be 
installed. The shield must not be broken or opened at this point. The clamps should be installed close 
to the drive or feedback device, with the ground connections made to a ground plate or similar 
metallic ground surface.
