Pro Installation Tips

Helpful hints from the CABMAN team to make your installation cleaner, faster, and more professional.

Getting Cable Ties Right

Always leave 3–5mm of tail after trimming a cable tie for a professional finish. For outdoor use, choose UV-resistant black nylon cable ties rated for your temperature range. Stainless steel ties should be used in marine, high-heat, or corrosive environments.

Perfect Heatshrink Every Time

Always use heatshrink that is 20–30% larger than your cable diameter before shrinking. Apply heat evenly using a heat gun — avoid open flame. Start from the centre and work outward to prevent air bubbles and uneven shrinkage.

Shop Heat Shrink & Sleeving

Correct Cable Gland Sizing

Select a cable gland one size up from your cable's outer diameter for best sealing. For SWA cables ensure the armour clamp is tight before tightening the compression nut. Always use a locknut on the panel side for a secure, vibration-resistant fit.

Ferrule Crimping Tips

Strip wire to the exact ferrule sleeve length — no more, no less. Use a ratchet crimping tool for consistent, reliable connections. Always insert the ferrule fully into the terminal before tightening. Colour-code ferrules by wire cross-section for easy identification.

Shop Ferrules & Lugs

Label Before You Install

Always label cables before routing through conduit or trunking — nearly impossible to re-label once installed. Use heatshrink markers or cable tie markers at both ends of every cable run. For permanent installations consider engraved or Traffolyte labels.

Marking with Heatshrink Sleeves

Print heatshrink markers using a thermal printer for crisp, long-lasting identification. Slide the marker over the cable BEFORE terminating the end — you cannot slide it over a lug or connector once fitted. Use the correct sleeve diameter for a snug fit after shrinking.
