Install LAN cables separately

To prevent accidental damage to LAN cables, they should be clearly visible and
should be separate from all other wiring and cables. To improve EMC, it is often
advisable to install the LAN cables in a separate cable channel or in conductive,
metal tubes. Such measures also make it easier to localize a faulty cable.
