How to Install a Jacketed Metal Clad Cable Connector (Sabre Tooth Type)

This guide provides detailed instructions for installing a Thomas & Betts Jacketed Metal Clad Cable Connector with a Sabre Tooth grounding sleeve on Teck or jacketed MC type cables, ensuring a secure and safe connection.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Cable cutter, Wrench

Supplies needed:

Jacketed Metal Clad Cable Connector (e.g., 10553), Teck or Jacketed MC Cable

  1. Verify Power is Off

    Before beginning installation or maintenance, verify that all circuits are de-energized to prevent the risk of electrical shock.

  2. Prepare the Cable

    Ring-cut the cable squarely and remove the outer jacket and armor to the desired length. Ensure the outer jacket is flush with the end of the armor. Exercise caution to avoid nicking or cutting the conductor insulation.

  3. Assemble Connector Components on Cable

    Slide the gland nut, retainer ring, and neoprene bushing over the prepared cable in that order.

  4. Install Grounding Sleeve

    Insert the point of the Sabre Tooth™ grounding sleeve fully over the cable armor and beneath the outer jacket.

  5. Seat Neoprene Bushing

    Slide the neoprene bushing down the cable to seat it properly in the bevel on the grounding sleeve.

  6. Attach Connector Body and Tighten Gland Nut

    Place the connector body over the grounding sleeve. Thread the gland nut onto the connector body and tighten it to the appropriate torque specification. For hub sizes 2-4, the recommended torque is 1600 in.-lbs.
