Universal Messenger Drop Clamp Installation:




• Begin separation of the messenger wire from the cable using the end-edge Messenger Drop Clamp.
  Note: Never use a knife or other sharp tool to separate messenger & cable.

• Fit the cable and messenger wire into the CATV Drop Clamp as shown, so that the Clamp Bail is between the two.

• Grasp the separated end of the messenger and cable with one hand and grip the Clamp Body, as shown, with your other hand.

• Then, pull the Drop Clamp back, in a straight line, separating the length of messenger wire needed to make the wrap; about 15 to 18-inches.

• Pull the messenger wire around the center of the bearing surface as shown, toward the rear or drop-side of the Clamp.
  Note: If at the house end of the drop, this will be done while tensioning or "sagging" the drop.

• Serve the messenger wire through the "L" Slots and begin the wrap about the CATV Drop Wire Clamp body, as shown.

• Continue the messenger wire wrap for two full turns.

• Serve the messenger wire through the "L" Slot, as shown, to the drop-side of the Messenger Drop Wire Clamp and cut the excess wire away, or ground it to the strand.
  Note: For drop cable with larger messenger wire, one wrap is sufficient. Serve the end of the wire around the end of the drop wire and bring it back up the "L" Slots, then cut away the excess, or ground it to the strand.
