Bowden cable question

A quick question for the brain trust….

I know in Ac43.13 that there’s a comment regarding the maximum spacing of adel clamps for wiring runs. I don’t have my copy (I’m at home, it’s at the hangar), but I know it’s in there, as I referenced it when I started running wires a long time ago.

Is there a similar statement in there regarding Bowden cables? I’d like to back up TLAR engineering with data from a trusted source.

Thanks!
 
I've never seen one

I've never seen any such data, but in practicality, it would be kind of hard to apply to a "Bowden cable" in its usual installation(carb heat/cabin heat). While the termination points of the sleeve must be fairly robust, the normal free-flowing pathway from knob to widget is often away from any securing point. I try to make mine unable to whip/vibrate into anything around it, but other than that, no specific distance between clamps.
