5.3 Before You Start
Before routing the cable you should have a cable routing diagram that
shows:
V Site locations of network node devices
V Routing paths of each cable segment
V Cable segment distances and cut lengths
V List of materials required (length of trunk cable, quantities of taps,
drop cables, cable ties, adhesive labels, and other materials as
needed)
Chapter 4 describes how to prepare this diagram. If you cannot obtain
such a diagram, you must observe all the precautions described in this
guide for physical and electrical protection of the cable during
installation.
Caution: Failure to provide proper physical protection of the
cable can cause damage to the cable conductors or insulation.
Failure to provide proper electrical protection of the cable can
result in excessive interference induced from adjacent
circuits. This can cause degraded network performance.
