! Plastic ties and wraps are to be used to secure cables at regular intervals to trays,
guides, and mounting pole/bracket. Ensure all trimmed ends are disposed of
safely and at regular intervals.
! Data cables of less than 20 pairs shall be mixed in bundles not exceeding 50 mm
in diameter.
! Ensure cables are not trapped in cabinet doors, by slide-in equipment or support
metalwork.
! Excessive stress on cable terminations caused by taught cables should be
avoided. Connector strain relief, if not built into the connector used, shall be
provided by means of a strategically located cable tie. A maintenance loop or a
generous amount of cable slack shall be provided just before the cable reaches
the ASWipLL device to allow for equipment removal without disturbance to
adjacent cables.
! When installing network cables, ensure they are not damaged by friction or sharp
edges.
! Data cables providing connection to the customers network shall be run in
protective conduits. Cable conduits should be secured to the wall in accordance
with manufacturers instructions.
! External data cables are to be protected in metal conduits, which are to be
secured to the building structure in accordance with manufacturers
recommendations.
! Wiring conduits must be placed in areas to prevent a trip hazard (e.g. don’t
install on roof walkways)
! Cables should be carefully fed through conduits and not pulled by means of any
attached connector.
! Sufficient space should be provided in cable conduits, trunking or trays (where
possible) to allow for future cabling growth.
! Data cables threaded into holes drilled in walls are to be covered by a waterproof
sheath to prevent water penetration.
