Step 10.66 — Zip-tie both ends of every chain¶
Step 66 of 80 · Chapter 10 — Wiring and Checkpoint #1
Parts:
- zip ties, 12 · consumable
Do:
- Tie to the small tab on each end link, at all six chain ends.
- If a tab is in the way, cut it off and tie around the end link itself.
Check
Six tie points. Pull the umbilical at each end: the strain lands on the zip tie, not the connector.
What you're looking at
Each end link of a chain has a small tab moulded on for a zip tie. The tie is a strain relief: pull on the umbilical and the load stops at the tie instead of arriving at the XT30 or Micro-Fit connector.
