! Cables should be carefully fed through trunking and not pulled by means of any
attached connector.
! Sufficient space should be provided in cable ducts, trunking or trays (where
possible) to allow for future cabling growth.
! External data cables are to be protected in protective conduit which is to be
secured to the building structure in accordance with manufacturers
recommendations. Trunking must not be located as to provide a trip hazard at the
base station premises (e.g. roof walkways)
! BSR cables are to be dressed tidily to the mounting pole or bracket using
strategically placed cable ties.
! Observe recommended minimum bend radii when installing copper cables.
Wherever a cable changes direction, ensure that it does so in a smooth curve
with a radius of at least 50mm in order to prevent damage.
! A maintenance loop is to be left in the cable just before the cable reaches the
BSR or GPS to prevent strain on the connector.
! Data cables entering holes drilled in walls are to be dressed to provide a loop that
will prevent water ingress into the building along the cable.
! Silicone sealant should be used to plug any holes on both internal and external
wall surfaces once cables are in place.
! All data cables should be labeled with both the source and destination at each
end.
Note: The maximum cable length between the BSR and terminating equipment
is 100 meters.
