post where cable hardware is mounted.
Cables should be spaced on end posts on centers of no
more than 3.25", and the cable should be supported in some
fashion no more than every 42" along the cable run.
Cables can be cut and fittings swaged in the field using
Ultra-tec® swaging equipment – available for rent or pur-
