Page 6: For Cable Ends
Notch the sheath with a pair of electrician scissors where the pull string is located to help start the cutting of the sheath with the pull string. Cut the pull strings in half and use each pull string to cut through the sheath on both sides down to the ring cut made in step 4 and cut the pull strings cleanly away from the cable. -
Page 7: Shield Bond Connector Installation
V. Shield Bond Connector Installation The Shield Bond Connectors are designed to make a stable and low resistance electrical connection between communications cables of .80” diameter or less and a conductor such as a strap, wire, or braid. 1. At your ring point, remove outer sheath and cut the armor shield flush with the cable opening. -
Page 8: Cable Lubrication
There are two types of Figure-8 grommets that may be included with the enclosure pinned and serrated. See your local Channell Salesperson to determine which grommet is best for your application. Determine the appropriate Figure-8 grommet to install based on cable diameter. -
Page 9: Installation Of Main Grommet
1. No electrical tape or other material should be placed on the cable where it will contact the grommet. Doing so will create a leak. 2. Apply a small amount of Channell lubricant to the entire outside and vertical slit of the grommet. The surface should appear wet but not excessively so. -
Page 10: Branch Cable Grommet Installation
No electrical tape or other material should be placed on the cable where it will contact the grommet. Doing so will create a leak. Apply a small amount of Channell lubricant to the entire outside and vertical slit of the grommet. The surface should appear wet but not excessively so. -
Page 11: Bonding And Grounding Of Installed Cable
Place grommet around cable, leaving about 1/2” of sheath above the grommet if dielectric cable is used. 1½” if armored cable requiring grounding. Use steady downward pressure to sink the grommet into the Branch port. Continue pressure until grommet hits the bottom stop of the port. -
Page 12: Strength Member Tiedowns
X. Strength Member Tie Down for Main Cable and Branch Cable The strength member should be tied down for any cable installed into either the main, Figure-8 grommet or Branch grommet. In the previous step there was about 5” of strength member left. -
Page 13: Slack Storage
Clean and dry all fiber thoroughly before applying the blue felt padding. Using felt padding provided, wrap a single layer around the buffer tube just below the point of tube removal. This will prevent the buffer tube from sliding into or out of the splice tray. 10. -
Page 14: Drop Cable Installation
Note: For flat drop cables, the sealing grommet labeled 3-4 (smallest available) is to be used. Channell Drop grommets to seal one cable each Note-Only Channell provided lubricant in conjunction with the correct grommet will create an air/watertight seal. Use of any other lubricant will nullify the sealing integrity of the enclosure and product warranty. - Page 15 Remove the reusable plug from the base in the port where the cable is to be installed. No electrical tape or other material should be placed on the cable where it will contact the grommet. Doing so will create a leak. If the drop cable being installed has a tracer wire, this wire must be stripped back so that it is completely outside of the closure after grommet installation.

Page 16: Closing The G5N Enclosure
The sealing grommet is properly installed when the top surface of sealing grommet is sitting slightly below top surface of terminal base. 10. Make sure to remove any excess lubricant from around the base using an alcohol wipe. Once the drop cable has been installed correctly into the base of the G5N the fiber or buffer tube can be routed to the appropriate splice tray or adapter. - Page 17 Channell Ltd., Dartford, United Kingdom • Tel 44.1322.312590 • Fax 44.1322.508490 AUSTRALIA, ASIA, PACIFIC RIM: Channell Pty.
