INSTALLING TWIN COAX CABLE ASSEMBLY THROUGH CULVERTS (CONT)

NOTE

Protective wrappings of tape around the twin coax cable assembly

(where it contacts the culverts) prevents rubbing and bending

damage.

BURYING TWIN COAX CABLE ASSEMBLY

Twin coax cable assembly may be buried to help protect it from damage.

1. Dig a trench (1) 6 to 12 inches deep across the road, and extend the

trench at least 2 feet beyond each side of the road.

2. Lay the twin coax cable assembly (2) loosely in the trench.

CAUTION

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

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

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

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

3. Using wire grips (3), secure twin coax cable assembly at each side of

the road to an anchor (4).

4. Fill the trench carefully.

5. Tag cable lines (5) at the base of the support on both sides of the

crossing between the wire grips.
