Connecting cables to portable devices
Connecting cables that are subject to movement between two points must be
long enough to avoid excessive strain on the cables and connectors.
In this situation, it is advisable to form loops in the cable and route sections in
the shape of the letter C.

Strains
If a sufficiently large loop is formed at connection points, then excessive wear and common problems
due to the strains illustrated below can be avoided. Pepperl+Fuchs connecting cables feature rugged,
pre-fitted easy-grip body. If these are combined with correctly formed loops, the result is that both
connector and cable are relieved very effectively of strain.
