I was wondering the same?

Cable out the top or cable out the side.
Where the cord comes out of canister. In side mount the gland comes out the side, for back mount it comes out the top. You can use side mount gland for back mount, I do and have no problem with it.What's the difference between the backmount and the sidemount versions on the deep six?
cable gland orientation, pix are bad, but backmount is top gland, sidemount is side gland. Interestingly enough though I do much prefer side gland for backmount as well.
Do you just face it forward?
The cord on my D6 light is a little long for me so I face the cap backward and loop the cord under the cannister and then out to my hand. I then wrap the long hose over that. Alternatively you could shorten the light cord and face the gland forward. Either way works.
