AERIAL INSTALLATION OF TWIN COAX CABLE ASSEMBLY (CONT)

WARNING

Be sure that you know the minimum clearance and sag distances

before you hang cable. Your team chief should give you specific

clearance heights before you start your cable laying mission.

Do not hang twin coax cable assemblies over or near power lines or

generators. Dangerous high voltages exist at these structures and

death or severe shock may result from contact between cable

assembly and power lines.

Never put a cable connector or a twin coax adapter in a span.

1. Install aerial cable (1).

CAUTION

Never anchor the cable without using a wire grip to take the strain off

the connectors. Ensure that proper grip is used to prevent damage to

connectors. Use grip ND-0107 for CX-11230A/G cable assembly,

and grip ND-0104 for CX-11230/G cable assembly.

NOTE

You should use wire grips to install twin coax cable assembly in the

aerial cable hookup without running the cable through the drive

hook (2).

2. Install wire grips (3).
