7. Mount the remaining Wall Mount(s) in the desired
mounting locations with Wood Screws as before.
Note: Most mounting scenarios will use two of the four
Wall Mounts for stringing the Cable between two points,
but additional Wall mounts can be used to allow for the
Cable to bend around corners, extra support, etc.
8. If using more than two Wall Mounts, route the Cable
through all of them except for the last Wall Mount.
