9. Position one half of cable clamp on cable and
connector. Ensure that flange of connector is
behind flange gripper of clamp and that inner
ferrule is positioned between the two strain--relief
bars of the clamp (see Figure 11).

10. Position other half of clamp on top of cable and
secure with attaching hardware.
Damaged contacts or ferrules may not be used. If
a damaged contact or ferrule is evident, it must
be removed and replaced with a new one.
7. GROMMET ASSEMBLY (Figures 12 and 13)
Refer to the table in Figure 14 to select the proper
cable clamp kit with grommets for the cable you are
using and proceed as follows:
1. Cut the cable to the desired length. Slide the
appropriate size grommet onto the cable with the
large O.D. toward the cable end being terminated.
2. Strip cable jacket from end of conductors. Take
care not to cut any foil, braid, or drain wire if
present. Refer to table in Figure 7 for the cable
jacket strip length for HD--20 and HD--22
connectors.
3. If cable has neither braid nor foil, slide grommet
to end of cable jacket and go to Step 7.
4. If cable has only foil around the conductors,
cut foil to end of jacket and remove. If drain wire is
present, trim to a length of approximately
15.24 mm [.600 in.] from end of jacket. Slide
grommet to end of cable jacket, bend any drain
wire back over top of grommet, and go to Step 7.
5. If cable has only braid, trim braid to
approximately 15.24 mm [.600 in.] from end of
cable jacket. Slide grommet to end of cable jacket
and fold the braid as evenly as possible around the
grommet. It may be easier to fold the braid back
over the jacket end first, then slide the grommet
under it. Go to Step 7.
6. If cable has both foil and braid, trim foil,
braid, and any drain wire to approximately
15.24 mm [.600 in.] from end of cable jacket. Slide
grommet to end of cable jacket and fold the braid
as evenly as possible around the grommet. It may
be easier to fold the braid back over the jacket end
first, then slide the grommet under it. Cut foil to
end of jacket and remove. Fold drain wire, if
present, over the braid and go to Step 7.
7. Terminate conductors with contacts and insert
contacts into rear of connector or terminate the
connector per the appropriate document listed in
Figure 4.
8. Position one half of cable clamp on cable and
connector. Ensure that the flange of the connector
is behind the flange gripper of the clamp and that
the large O.D. of the grommet is seated against
the connector side of the inner strain relief bar of
thecableclamp.
9. In a similar manner, position the other half of the
cable clamp and secure with attaching hardware.
