This standard establishes a test method to determine the axial tensile load that can be applied to a mated pair of connectors and the holding effect of a connector cable clamp without causing any detrimental effects upon the cable or connector when subjected to inadvertent axial tensile loads. Object The object of this test procedure is to detail a standard method to determine the holding effect of a connector cable clamp without causing any detrimental effects upon the cable or connector components when the cable is subjected to inadvertent axial tensile loads.
