7.3. Installation Tips
Followingthesetipsduringtheinstallationprocesswillhelpguaranteeasuccessfulinstallation.
Test every cable before use.
Alwaystestcablesbeforeuse.Field-terminatedcablesshouldbecheckedforcontinuityafterterminationtobe
suretheconnectorswereinstalledcorrectly.
Label each cable as it is installed.
