Diamond® Products Stand the Test of Time. The unique, proprietary approach that we have to mechanical galvanizing, and the standards that we insist on for our raw materials, ensure that Diamond parts can withstand corrosive environments for decades, a factor that is important today since replacement costs are so high. The photographs below clearly demonstrate the Diamond Difference. Even after 672 hours under the same conditions, Diamond mechanically galvanized parts keep their integrity. Diamond® Advantage What is Mechanical Galvanizing? We mechanically galvanize to ensure that Diamond products will stand the test of time. It is a plating process whereby zinc is mechanically deposited on properly prepared steel parts. A uniform coating thickness of zinc is applied by placing the parts in a rotating barrel with the correct recipe of water, glass beads and various chemicals. The impact of the glass beads on the steel parts deposits a layer of zinc onto the metal surfaces. Subsequent layers build up until the required thickness is achieved. The zinc deposited onto the metal surface may be considered a sacrificial coating. Over time this coating slowly reacts with the environment (moisture and air) and becomes mottled producing 'white rust'. The appearance of white rust means that the coating is being sacrificed to protect the underlying steel part. •• Mechanically galvanized parts have a superior resistance to corrosion. •• It is the most effective method for small parts. •• The process does not clog the threads of nuts and bolts, thus parts can be put together quickly and easily. •• Threaded parts do not 'gall' producing more accurate torque- tension relationships. •• Eliminates the problem of Hydrogen Embrittlement. Heat- treated parts do not detemper or weaken since the galvanizing process takes place at room temperature. 1 2 3 4 The Diamond® Difference™ We do not depend on the process of mechanical galvanizing alone to provide us with products that will stand the test of time. •• Raw materials are carefully selected and must meet or exceed the standards we have established over the years. •• How these materials are combined and prepared is unique to the Belden Diamond method of manufacture. •• Our emphasis is on quality control and process management. •• Every stage of the manufacturing and galvanizing process is controlled and monitored. •• To achieve the Diamond Difference no corners can be cut and no process steps excluded. 5 The Mechanical Galvanizing Process www.ppc-online.com 2 A BELDEN BRAND Customer Support: 800.800.6652 Salt Spray Test Results 5% salt solution (as used in ASTM B117) is sprayed upon parts in a closed chamber until the first indication of red rust appears.

Parts tested to ASTM B117 under laboratory conditions within Belden certified testing facility. Meeting Your Specifications We ensure consistent performance and quality by adhering to the following industry standards and specifications used within the Telecommunications Industry. Bell Core The Bell Operating Companies (RBOC's) borne of the AT&T divestiture were the first organizations to recognize the need for and to establish quality standards and specifications for pole line hardware in the USA. Bell Communications Research Inc. or 'Bellcore' specifications are acknowledged standards for pole line, drop and bonding/grounding hardware. SCTE Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) is the professional association for the Cable Television industry. SCTE provides training, certification and standards to the industry and is accredited by ANSI as the industry's body of record. ANSI American National Standards Institute (ANSI) administers and coordinates U.S. standardization efforts through facilitation of consensus standards and conforming assessment systems. ANSI is the official United States representative to ISO and other international accreditation and standardization bodies. ISO The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) reviews, inspects and approves manufacturer facilities and methods then awards quality certification. Facilities must continue to meet the certification requirements to maintain their ISO quality status. Belden's plants are registered to ISO 9001-2000. ASTM The American Standards for Testing and Materials (ASTM) organization in conjunction with manufacturers and industry associations has established internationally recognized quality standards. The organization specifies materials, procedures and methods to assure conformance to its standards. UL Underwriter's Laboratories is an international safety standards organization, which has established testing criteria for electrical products to assure their safety for the end user. CSA The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has established standards and test criteria to assure satisfactory performance and function of products destined for use in Canada.

Power ground system: a. Power ground service wire b. Power service ground rod c. External connector on power service meter box d. Power service entrance conduit (not conduit outlets) 2. Building steel that is bonded to power ground. 3. Metallic water pipe that is bonded to power ground. (water pipes are to be avoided due to the increase in plastic pipes) 4. Additional ground rod (see notes). Notes: • All Belden grounding devices shown are U.L. listed. • Always abide by local grounding codes and follow company sanctioned grounding procedures and priorities. • Cold water pipe ground is not recommended unless continuity can be guaranteed. Also, must be within 5 ft. of where water enters the home. • If ground wire is 20 ft. or more from the power ground, an additional ground rod must be installed and connected to the power ground by a #6 ground wire. (Option 4) • Minimum of #14 AWG solid copper wire required for bonding CATV systems.

Installation: 1. Begin separation of the messenger wire from the cable using the end-edge of the SC02MFA-SS Drop Clamp. Note: Never use a knife or other sharp tool to separate messenger and cable. 2. Fit the cable and messenger wire into the SCO2MFASS Drop Clamp as shown, so that the Clamp Bail is between the two. 3. Grasp the separated end of the messenger and cable with one hand and grip the Clamp Body, as shown, with your other hand. Then, pull the SC02MFA-SS back, in a straight line, separating the length of messenger wire needed to make the wrap; about 15 to 18-inches. 4. Pull the messenger wire around the center of the bearing surface as shown, toward the rear or dropside of the Clamp. Note: If at the house end of the drop, this will be done while tensioning or “sagging” the drop. 5. Pass the messenger wire through the “L” Slots and begin the wrap about the SC02MFA-SS body, as shown.

Pass the messenger wire through the “L” Slot, as shown, to the drop-side of the SC02MFA-SS and cut the excess wire away, or ground it to the strand. Note: For drop cable with larger messenger wire, one wrap is sufficient. Wrap the end of the wire around the end of the SC02MFA-SS and bring it back up the “L” Slots, then cut away the excess, or ground it to the strand. 6 7 www.ppc-online.com 6 A BELDEN BRAND Customer Support: 800.800.6652 Drop Hardware ® Diamond Drop Hardware Drop Wire Clamps for CATV and Telephone Cable "B" Drop Wire Clamp •• Used to support both ends of telephone drop, at strand and building. •• Suitable for 1-2 pair .200” max. height and .410’ max. width. •• 6 pair version: .300” max. height and .500" max. width. •• Stainless steel bailwire on all versions. •• Special Packages available.
