Securing Telco Cable to Connector with Velcro Strap

The device interfaces with analog telephone lines by connecting to an MDF using a 50-pin
Telco cable, as described in the previous section. If you are using a Centronics cable that is
anchored on one side, you can purchase a Velcro Strap Kit from AudioCodes to secure the
cable to the device's Telco connector using a Velcro hook-and-loop cable tie (instead of
using the connector's bail locks). The kit includes the following items:

1 x Bracket

1 x Velcro strap

2 x Short screws (for DDK cables only)

2 x Long screws (all cables except DDK)

2 x Hex standoff screws
The figure below illustrates this Velcro hook-and-loop cable tie:

device's Telco connector, by squeezing the bail clips together to release it from the
connector. Keep the bail locks in a safe place for future use.
