Cable sheath opening measurements, for  

both size closures, whether using unitube or 

buffer tube, are 152" (386.10 cm) for continuous 
loop/express applications, and 76" (193.04 cm) 
for cut cable.

  The COYOTE Closure is designed for main 

cables to enter the bottom outside cable ports

  Where irregular cable ends exist, measure 

from the shortest cable to establish End Plate 
location.

The color-coded COYOTE Cable Measure 

Tapes are used to determine the number of 

half-lapped layers of LOCK-TAPE Sealant required 
to seal the cable in the End Plate. The back of the 
Measure

Tape is used to check whether the LOCK-

TAPE Sealant wrap is the proper diameter to ensure 
a water and air tight seal. (Figure 9) 

For the Six Port End Plate, the orange-colored end is 
used to measure cables entering the 7/8" (2.22 cm)
