Distribution Cable For distribution cables, or feeder cables exceeding 0.5” (14mm) in diameter, you will need to use the 1” sealcons (Clearfield Kit Part Number: FST-SEALCON-KIT-1 INCH) with grommet inserts for the appropriate cable size as well as two conduit reducer washers per sealcon. - Page 5 FieldSmart FDP Indoor 288-Port Wall Box Installation Manual __________________________________________________________ Remove retaining nut from base of sealcon.
