Section 3: Hoisting Considerations
Hoisting Recommendations
Reminder:
Plan grip location by
measuring distance (D)
from ODC compatible
connector to tower
support member.
(D)
(D)
Direct
Breakout
Grip
Location
• Be sure that the Direct breakout is not damaged by attachment of a hoisting grip or during the hoisting process.
Attach a hoisting grip on the jacketed cable no less than .3 m (1 ft) below the fibre breakout point. Prevent the
fibre tails and power conductors from undue movement during hoisting by securing with tie ropes every 1 m (3 ft)
to the hoisting line.
• Installation temperature range is -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to +140°F).
• Minimum cable bend radii and tensile load can be found on-line in our eCatalog section at commscope.com.
• CommScope Lace-Up Hoisting Grip 19256B-C required for 1210 and 1206 series. Hoisting Grip 29961-C required for
1204 series.
• Hoisting Grips are the primary support for the cable weight and must be anchored to the support structure with
tension applied, then the cable hangers are fastened to the support structure in 0.9 m (3 ft) intervals.
• During final connections to RRU, do not bend the fibre ends tighter than 30 mm (1.2 in) bend radius or you take
the risk of breaking the glass fibres.
Hybrid Fiber Cables weigh more than traditional coaxial cables. Be sure to follow proper hoisting and
attachment procedures.

• The terminated fiber ends however are fragile and must be protected during installation. Leave the packaging
around the fiber ends in place until ready to make final connect of the jumper at the RRU or BBU.
• DO NOT BEND THE FIBER ENDS TIGHTER THAN 30 mm (1.2 in) BEND RADIUS ELSE THERE IS A RISK OF BREAKING THE GLASS
FIBERS.
• Attach the main cable securely to the structure or equipment using hangers to prevent strain on connections from
movement in wind or snow/ice conditions.
• Ensure the fiber and power connections and seated firmly in the RRU.
• Installation temperature range is -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to +140°F).

Section 5: Supporting Fiber Tails
Open grommet and place
it over the fiber tail.
Place the hanger over the grommet
and place in support structure.
Stack hangers as required. Repeat
with tails being routed to the RRU
and spare fibers.
Connectors are fully weather sealed and do not
require additional weatherizing. Unused power
conductors should be left with the protective cap
in place.

If additional hangers are not available
slide the protection sleeve from the BBU
end over any spare fibers to protect
them.
Place tape over fiber tails and
protective sleeve end to hold in
place. Support protection sleeve
using tie wraps.

2
Carefully feed compression nut over DLC connector and slide onto jacketing.
Do not twist or bend the DLC connector or ber. Excessive force or bending may break the ber.
Carefully feed weather shroud body over DLC connector.
3
Wrap the rubber split grommet around the jacketing with the stepped end towards shroud body. Push gasket
into the clamping tynes. Approximately 0.9 mm will protrude from the tynes when fully installed.
4
Engage the compression nut one full revolution to keep the grommet in place but do not tighten fully to allow
for adjustment during RRU connection.
5
Slide weather shroud down jacketing to allow full access to the DLC connector during the RRU connection.
If a Weather Shroud is pre-installed care-
fully remove the end cap by holding it
stationary and turning the top nut coun-
ter-clock wise. Skip to step #6.

Slide the weather shroud up to the RRU. Turn top nut clockwise to secure to RRU bulkhead connector.
Finish hand tightening the compression nut onto jacketing to complete instal-
lation. The compression nut must be tightened until it is completely against the
cable gland body. The grommet will protrude slightly from the compression nut.
Reverse steps 7 and 8 to remove sleeve for maintenance.
