Chapter 3 Installing Conduit and Cable
Securing Cables with Glass Tape
In this example, glass fiber-reinforced tape or glass filament tape is
used. The taping should be continuous from the point the cables enter
the MCC to the point the cables are terminated. It is important that
cables are wrapped several times for additional strength. Cable slack
should be drawn up during wrapping so that individual cables are
supported by the tape as a single mass.

Securing Cables with Nylon Rope
In this example, cables are lashed in a ‘figure 8’-type configuration by
using nylon rope. The rope lashing should be continuous from the
point the cables enter the MCC to the point the cables are terminated.
Other types of rope lashing may be acceptable. Cable slack should be
drawn up during wrapping so that individual cables are supported by
the rope as a single mass.
