catamount by Thomas & Betts

Catamount® Cable Ties Tail twists right off — no tools needed! Catamount® Twist Tail™ Cable Tie

NEW!

• After installing, remove excess tail with a simple “bend, bend again and twist” motion • Tail breaks off neat and clean – no sharp edges to damage hands or cables • Ideal for limited-space installations where you can’t fit a cut-off tool • Suitable for any general-purpose cable tie application

For fast and easy installation, you can’t beat the Catamount® Twist Tail™ Cable Tie. After you secure the Twist Tail™ tie around a bundle of cables, simply grasp the excess tail between your thumb and forefinger, bend, bend in the other direction and twist. The tail breaks right off, leaving no sharp edges to scratch your hands or your cables. The Twist Tail cable tie makes tail removal easy with its unique, patent-pending design but still provides a full 50 lbs. minimum loop tensile strength — perfect for any general-purpose cable tie application.

Cable Fastening Systems

• Unique, patent-pending design for quick, easy, tool-less installation

• Available in white or UV resistant black 6.6 nylon

The proper installation procedure for the quality assured connection! The proper installation of terminals, splices, and connectors is very important to the efficient performance of an electrical system. The properly installed connector will enable good conductivity through the termination. A poor termination results in a high-resistance connection. A poor connector installation may cause damage or failure of an entire system. Certain basic requirements must be met to make a good termination. Before the connector or terminal is installed on the conductor, follow these recommended practices: • Strip the insulation carefully to avoid nicking or cutting conductor strands • Strip the insulation to the proper length so the conductors can be inserted fully into the connector barrel; the wire/cable should be visible in the inspection hole of the lug; the proper strip length can be found on page F-45.

Installation Procedure 1. Train the wires to eliminate fanning of strands. 2. Open handles fully. 3. Insert terminal in proper die nest and locate it as shown above. When crimping a butt splice, position in proper die nest with window facing indentor. 4. Close handles slightly to secure terminal. Do not deform terminal.
