Cable Bundle Wire Information for iCon & iCon960
A formula to calculate the maximum number of wires recommended for a cable bundle is shown below. Using this formula, the table below shows a sampling of the maximum number of wires that will fit in the oblong bushing.

199398 NOTE: Addition of shrink tubing or braid will reduce maximum number of wires through bushing.NOTE: If the wiring bundle is too small to secure with the adjustable bushing, remove the
workholding assembly within the bushing by removing the two adjustment screws. Reverse the direction of the clamp assembly and secure with the two screws. This provides a reduced diameter within the bushing and allows smaller wire bundles to be held securely. VIRGINIA PANEL CORPORATION • vpc.com >
