D .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 cable, quantities of inline
connectors, terminating connectors, 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 cir-
cuits. This can cause degraded network performance.
