Cabling Installation, Maintenance, and Safety
Tips
The following is a list of important safety considerations that should be
reviewed prior to installing or maintaining your cables:
•
Keep all UTP runs to a maximum of 30 meters each.
•
Maintain the twists of the pairs all the way to the point of termination, or
no more than one-half inch untwisted. Do not skin off more than one inch
of the jacket while terminating.
•
If bending the cable is necessary, make it gradual with no bend sharper than
a one inch radius. Allowing the cable to be sharply bent or kinked can
permanently damage the cable’s interior.
