    8. Secure the cable from the power source to the Asset Gateway with the help of cable holders. It is important to route the cable to provide strain relief to the Asset Gateway connector and ensure the cable is secure during travel. If the mounting plate is used, ensure the cable routes up through 2 cable clips before descending down to the power source.
