3.8.4 Installation

Avoid any unnecessary junction points and cross-connects. Every added junction point

and cross-connect can decrease the performance of the network.

Multiple appearances of the same cable at different locations, referred to as bridge taps

shall be avoided. Each cable segment shall have only one source and one destination.

Never untwist the twisted pairs of a CAT-5 cable beyond 1.3 cm (0.5 in.) from the point of

termination. Untwisting the wires can decrease the cable's category performance rating

and degrade system performance. Refer to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A and CSA-T529 for more

information.

Do not make sharp bends in CAT-5 cable. The bend radius for CAT-5 cable shall not be

less than ten times the outside diameter of the cable. Bending the cable with a shorter

bend radius can affect the electrical characteristics of the cable and degrade system

performance. Refer to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A and CSA-T529 for more information.

Do not pull a CAT-5 cable with excessive force. CAT-5 cable should not be pulled with a

force greater than 110 Newtons (25 lbs force), or as suggested by the cable

manufacturer. Pulling a cable with too much force can change the cable's electric

characteristics and degrade its performance. Refer to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A and CSA-

T529 for more information.

Do not over tighten CAT-5 cable with cable ties or other supports. Over tightening cable

ties or other supports can change the electrical characteristics of the cable and degrade

the system performance. Refer to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A and CSA-T529 for more

information.

CAT-5 segment lengths shall not exceed 100 m (328 ft.). This includes 90 m

(295 ft.) of building cabling and up to 10 m (32.8 ft.) of equipment cords, cross-connects

and patch cords. Of the 10 m (32.8 ft.) allowed for equipment cords, cross-connects and

patch cords, a maximum of 3 m (9.8 ft.) should be used from the computer workstation to

the information outlet. Refer to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A and CSA-T529 for more information.
