Cord grip

Supports the cabling that is used to control external 
devices, or to connect up external switches. The 
bare wires connect to the terminal blocks on the 
Card.

The cord grip is plastic and can secure a single cord 
with a diameter range of 5.8 – 10mm. This limits the 
number of conductors (inside the cord) and the 
power ratings.
