Chapter 01 — Tensioning limits

Loaded on demand from the master's topic index. Self-contained.

What this covers

The tension envelope per type-A cable class under FCS-12 (2024 ed.).

Limits

Cable class	Min (N)	Max (N)
A1	120	180
A2	90	140

Tension MUST be verified with a calibrated gauge at install and the value recorded.

When NOT to rely on this

• These are the 2024 limits. The 2019 edition had different values — it is superseded; do not quote it.
• Type-B cables are out of scope (different standard). See the master's hooks.
