Customer Service, One Call at a Time
 We recently received a note from a customer in Southern Alabama
who has not historically done much business with SAB North America.
The note came from the Vice President and the Branch Manager stating
that they have had such great experiences with SAB North America
that they want to do more business with us. The reason for this
is due to one of our outstanding Inside Sales people, Matthew Stewart.
The note praised Matt for his knowledge, fast response with information,
quote requests and order processing.
Our Thanks go out to Matt for a job well done. With this type
of service we will continue to win over customers One Call At A

SAB Cable 101
Back to Basics
 Q.
Are there recommended guidelines for installing continuous
flex cables into a cable track?
A. The laying of cables in cable track has to be done
carefully. In general the following points have to be considered:
- It is recommended to lay the cables separately side
by side. In cases where cables with different diameters
are laid on top of each other, we recommend the use of
separators.
- Cables with an outer diameter < 0.394 inches (10mm)
that cannot be installed with separators should be loosely
placed in a guide hose in the cable track. The section
of the hose has to be considerably bigger than the sum
of all cable sections.
- The cables should be movable in the separator. There
must be 10% free space between the cable diameters and
also the internal dimensions of the cable track, for
safety reasons.
- Please make sure that the cables do not exceed the
bend radius. In cases where there are several layers
of cables the cables need adequate clearance at the bending
point.
- The laying of the cables in the cable track has to
be torsion free. (non-rotational) Therefore the cables
must be unwound from the reels before being installed.
(Do not lift off of the reels in loops).
- The weight arrangement in the cable track or in the
links has to be done symmetrically, with the heavy cables
laid towards the outside of the cable track and the smaller
ones in the middle.
- All cables have to be strain relieved at the fixed
point and at the driving feature. There should only be
large surface pressure on the outer jacket. Pay close
attention to how the cables are clamped to avoid any
squeezing of the conductors and any displacement of the
cable.
- Generally only cables rated for continuous flex should
be used in C-track applications. Also, the recommended
bending radius for the particular SAB cable being used,
needs to be strictly adhered too.
