3.0 Feeder Cable Preparation and Strain Relief
3.1 Feeder cable diameters for the 3M™Indoor Building Entrance Terminal (IBET) 4588V-QCS Series
Minimum Diameter Maximum Diameter
Entrance Cable 0.42" (10.7 mm) 1.45" (36.8 mm)
If the cable diameter is smaller than the minimum, use Scotch®Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape 130C to build up to the minimum.
3.2 Run the feeder cable 24" (610 mm) past the
3M™Indoor Building Entrance Terminal (IBET) cable
entry port.
3.3 Slide the 3M™Pull ’N’ Shrink Tube (PST) on the end
of the cable with the pull-tab away from the IBET and
temporarily keep it out of the way.
3.4 With the groove toward the IBET and long end toward
the cable, snap the cable gland halves around the
cable. Slide the gland into the entry port of the IBET.
3.5 Measure 2" (51 mm) of sheath past the gland inside
the IBET. Pull the gland and cable out of the IBET. 2"
3.6 Remove the sheath, leaving at least 21" (533 mm) of
free conductor length. Identify and secure the cable
groups ends. Bond the cable shield according to your
company’s practice.
3.7 Insert the gland’s groove into the cable port. Slide the
PST over the gland and slowly unwind the core. The
PST core fits over either the small diameter of the 25
-to 50-pair gland or butts up against the 3M™Indoor
Building Entrance Terminal (IBET) 4588V-QCS
Series for the 100-pair gland.
3.8 Complete the PST core removal over the gland.
3.9 The blank plate MUST be used in the empty cable
port for UL Listing.
3.10 Attach the cable to the wall according to your
company’s practice.
4.0 Terminal Grounding
4.1 Fasten a #6 AWG wire to the ground bar, which is
located on the front of the unit. Connect the other
end of the ground wire to local ground per company
standards.
Note: Failure to properly bond and ground the
terminal per N.E.C. or local equivalent codes
may render protection arrestors useless.
