LaceLok® Cable Lacing Fasteners Installation Instructions 1. Select desired LaceLok® Cable Lacing Fastener (CLF) length based on size of bundle and application. Multiple wraps should be used where increased bundle strength or extreme resistance to lateral or radial motion is needed. Bundles containing pressure sensitive cables such as coax or fiber optic should also utilize multiple wraps. 2. Pass LaceLok® CLF around the cable bundle one to three times (Fig. 1). Feed lacing tape end through fastener head under locking pin (Fig. 2). Cinch tight around bundle (Fig. 3). Tips To ensure the...

Installation Instructions (continued) 5. Side load lace into capstan and ensure that the LaceLok® fastener head is in the nose of the tool. (Fig. 11). Ensure LaceLok® tool is tangent to wire bundle diameter and directly in line with LaceLok® CLF head. The tool shall not be in front or perpendicular to the fastener head (Fig. 13, 14, 15, 16). The tool nose should nest with and partially surround the fastener head (Fig. 11). Failure to correctly align the tool can result in a faulty LaceLok® CLF installation. 6. Squeeze installation tool trigger 2-3 times to rotate capstan and take up slack,...

LaceLok® Cable Lacing Fasteners Inspection 1. Confirm LaceLok® CLF locking pin is “Activated” and locked. The locking pin should move from its unlocked (Fig. 18) to locked position (Fig. 19). The lace should not be able to move around the locking pin. 2. The locking pin should be angled away from the cut end of lace (Fig.19, 20). 3. Ensure LaceLok® CLF is adequately tight around bundle. 4. Ensure lacing tape is not twisted in the head or around the bundle (Fig. 21). 5. Ensure cable lacing tape is cut cleanly and cut end measures 0.5 in. +/- 0.25 in. (12.7mm +/- 6.4mm) (Fig. 20, 22). Angled...

Breakout Examples LaceLok® can be used to create breakouts in a similar application method as plastic cable ties or hand tied lace by replacing the knot with the activated buckle. Examples of breakouts include, but are not limited to the following examples. It is up to the responsible engineering authority to determine the applicable method and application of LaceLok®. ©COPYRIGHT 2021 DANIELS MANUFACTURING CORPORATION
