DSatz is absolutely correct about the loop of cable, and this applies to any shock mount. Just like with spider type shock mounts such as the AT, you cannot allow the cables to pull down against the mount or have strain. What I have always done, probably a throw back to my GD taping days, is simply hold the cables at a point where a natural loop forms and tape them to the mic stand just below the stereo bar. This isolates the mount from cable vibrations and also prevents an accidental tug on a cable from pulling on the mics.
You can see when the weight of the cables lifts off the mics as they will straighten out inside the mount naturally, and this tells you the point to anchor the cables.
Also, I determined the point of the center of gravity on the 460 mic body with the cable plugged in where it will balance somewhat in the mount, and that makes setup easier knowing that spot beforehand.
