Cables entering distribution panels
What are the requirements regarding number of cables entering a panel (per entrance). Five cables were jammed in this single entrance.

Re: Cables entering distribution panels
Matthew,

You might also find that the clamps are designed for 1-2 cables.

Re: Cables entering distribution panels
The actual requirements are part of the listing, and printed on the box the connectors came in.

The pattern seems to be that the connectors are listed to hold either one round, or two flat, cables.
