Note: Never use a knife or other sharp tool to
separate messenger and cable.
2. Fit the cable and messenger wire into the SCO2MFA-
SS Drop Clamp as shown, so that the Clamp Bail is
between the two.
3. Grasp the separated end of the messenger and cable
with one hand and grip the Clamp Body, as shown,
with your other hand. Then, pull the SC02MFA-SS
back, in a straight line, separating the length of
messenger wire needed to make the wrap; about 15
to 18-inches.

Note: For drop cable with larger messenger wire, one
wrap is sufficient. Wrap the end of the wire around
the end of the SC02MFA-SS and bring it back up the
“L” Slots, then cut away the excess, or ground it to
the strand.
