Step

Action

1

Mount the clip to the USB mark G-SE-0014282.1.gif-high.gif connector shell so that it overlaps. The clip matches the 27 to 43.5 mm (1.06 to 1.71 in) length of the USB connector.

NOTE: When installing clamps to reduce cable stress onto both USB1 and USB2, at USB1 overlay the clip on the side with the USB mark, and on USB2 the side without the USB mark. Make sure the ties do not interfere with the other.

2

Align the clip and the USB cable connector shell. Adjust the position of the holes where the clip is attached. To ensure stability, select the clip-hole position that is closest to the base of the connector shell.
