CABLE DRESSING:
• Do not tie AC cables from equipment together. Tie each cable separately
with just enough length to reach its outlet.
• Tie cable bundles with wire ties in 6” intervals.
• Do not tie cables extremely tight.
• If the wire tie deforms or squeezes the bundle, it will affect the shielding
characteristics and can cause bleed through (EMI). This is very important
on all bundles and critical on video and RF signals.
• A wire tie gun is the only appropriate way to get the correct amount of
tension on a wire tie.
• When dressing coaxial cable, a bend radius of 8” should be observed.
• When dressing audio and control cable, a 90 degree. bend should have a
radius no less than 1/2”.
• The cable should be tied within 6” of its final termination point.
The tension settings are:
Video, RF :4
Audio, Mic and Line :2
Speaker, 70V and 8ohm :3
Control and Timecode :2
Fiber Optic :1 or less
