I get asked that all the time. I always ask them which direction the data is flowing on the ethernet cable....

From: Adam Moffett Sent: Friday, February 9, 2018 8:51 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] new product question It holds tighter than a zip tie. You definitely can't pull the cable out of a transtector without shredding the jacket. I'm not going to try and tell you it's better. A simple/cheap way is also better. Depends on who the buyer is. ------ Original Message ------ From: ch...@wbmfg.com To: af@afmug.com Sent: 2/9/2018 10:48:40 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] new product question I can do the piece of metal too. But is it that much better? From: Adam Moffett Sent: Friday, February 9, 2018 8:37 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] new product question Better is subjective. Your way is simple and cheap, and that might be better. Some rely on a properly tightened cable gland. Transtector has a a half-u piece of metal secured by a screw....like a 1 hole conduit strap. ------ Original Message ------ From: ch...@wbmfg.com To: af@afmug.com Sent: 2/9/2018 10:30:53 AM Subject: [AFMUG] new product question I am making a new tower mount multiple circuit surge protector. This one is for multiple higher current DC power circuits/ conductors only. Trying to come up with a good way to allow the wires to be secured. Right now I have a series of rectangular slots in the PCB so a zip tie can be passed down behind the board and back up. Any better ways?
