Allowable Sidewall Bearing Pressure

The maximum tension that can safely be applied to the cable during installation can be cal- culated using the maximum SWBP for  The cable and the radius of the bend it is traversing.

For example, a cable having a maximum SWBP of 300 lb/ft that is being pulled around a bend having a radius of 2 ft should have no more than 300 lb/ft x 2 ft or 600 lb tension applied to it as the cable exits the bend.
