2. Remove the plastic nozzle from the bottom of each cable sleeve where a cable is to be installed.
3. Cut the small end of each plastic nozzle so that it can just fit over and be slipped onto an incoming
cable (or cable bundle), small end first.
4. Pull about two feet of cable into the cabinet. Slide the nozzle onto the cable then slide it down until it
meets the top of the incoming conduit .
5. Keeping the nozzle in that position, pull 15 feet of cable up through the cone shaped cable sleeve into
the cabinet interior .
6. After the desired length of cable has been pulled, secure the small end of the nozzle to the cable using
one layer of sealing tape and the cable clamp provided. If more than one wire is grouped in a nozzle,
use "B" sealing compound to seal gaps in the wire bundle.
7. Maneuver the cable so the large end of the nozzle can slide onto the bottom cone shaped cable sleeve
until it is snug to the sleeve or seats against the cabinet bottom then secure with the hose clamp
provided.
8. Repeat this process for all remaining cables.

Metallic Cable

The following procedure can be used in place of the procedure in Marconi document 640-205-001, Section
5.2, Metallic Cable. Metallic cable has a metal sheath ground shield within the insulation. This ground
shield must be connected to local ground to eliminate crosstalk and other interference on the line. When
cutting outer insulation ensure cable pair insulation is not cut.
1. Prepare the metallic cable as outlined below or according to local practices.
If joint buried plant is used, check the cable sheath for voltage according
to local practices. If voltage is present, do not proceed with the instal-
lation. Contact your supervisor for instructions, do not proceed until the
voltage hazard is eliminated.
2. Ring cut the plastic outer cable sheath 9-inches above the upper cone shaped sleeve. Remove the entire
sheath above the ring cut.
3. Ring cut the cable ground shield the same place as the outer sheath. Remove the entire ground shield
above the cut to expose the plastic core wrap .
4. Ring cut the core wrap 1/2 inch higher than the sheath and shield cuts. Pull off the plastic wrap to
expose the cable pairs.
5. Install a bond clamp to sandwich the plastic sheath and the ground shield according to local practices.
Ensure positive contact between the clamp and the ground shield.
6. Connect a solid No. 6 AWG ground wire between the bond clamp and the cabinet ground bar.
7. Secure the ground wire under the containment bracket at the front of the rear chamber floor.
8. Confirm ground circuit continuity.
9. Install binder group identification ties. Remove the unit binders. The cabinet is ready to be spliced.
10. Splice and tag with cable identity according to local practices. Replace the conduit chamber panel
beneath the splice chamber.
