inline connector (dark grey).
V The two end drop sites on each section of the network should each
have one cable, connected to a terminating connector (light grey).
V The cable direction (left or right) into each connector should be
correct according to the type of device to be installed at each site.
V Each connector should be tightly secured to its cable(s) by a cable
tie.
V Adequate strain reliefs should be installed on the cable at each
drop.
