PRO.BOSE.COM Design Guide Supplement: Safety Cables
Design Requirements When Using the Safety Cable
If the loudspeaker requires a safety cable, please note the following information to aid your
design process:
The safety cable must be wrapped securely around a building support structure. For
surface-mount loudspeakers, you may wrap the safety cable securely around a structural
attachment point, such as an eye screw above the loudspeaker, as an alternative.
After attaching the safety cable to both the loudspeaker and building support structure
(or attachment point), you must remove enough slack from the safety cable such that,
in the event of a fall, the top (rear) of the loudspeaker will drop to a distance of no more
than 152 millimeters (6 inches) below the ceiling (if it is a flush-mount loudspeaker, Fig.
A) or from its mounted location (if it is a surface-mount loudspeaker, Fig. B) before it is
retained by the safety cable.
Refer to the safety cable installation guide for detailed instructions and important safety
warnings when installing the safety cable.

points for the flush-mount safety cable.
If the safety cable provided by Bose is too short, you may substitute a longer safety cable only if it meets the specifications
listed below. Failure to meet these requirements could cause the loudspeaker to fall and result in personal injury or
property damage.

If you are unable to install the Bose-provided cable or a longer substitute that meets the requirements that Bose has

commercial cooking environments.)
