Cable Cautions
To prevent data cable damage, you must follow these cautions.
|
|
Do not uncoil the cable, as a kink might occur. Hold the coil
closed as you unroll the cable, pausing to allow the cable to relax
as it is unrolled.
|
|
Do not step on the cable or connectors. Plan cable paths away from
foot traffic or rolling loads.
|
|
|
Do not pull the cable out of the shipping box, through any
opening, or around any corners. Unroll the cable as you lay it down
and move it through turns.
|
|
Do not bend the cables to a radius tighter than 85 mm (3.4
inches). Ensure that cable turns are as wide as possible.
|
|
|
Do not twist the cable to open a kink. If it is not severe, open
the kink by unlooping the cable.
|
|
Do not pack the cable to fit a tight space. Use an alternative
cable route.
|
|
|
Do not straighten the cable to correct a bend that is too tight.
Leave the cable bend as is.
|
|
Do not hang the cable for a length more than 2 meters (7 feet).
Minimize the hanging weight with intermediate retention
points.
|
|
|
Do not drop the cable or connectors from any height. Gently set
the cable down, resting the cable connectors on a stable
surface.
|
|
Do not cinch the cable with hard fasteners or cable ties. Use soft
hook-and-loop fastener for bundling and securing cables.
|
|
|
Do not drag the cable or its connectors over any surface. Carry
the entire cable to and from the points of connection.
|
|
Do not force the cable connector into the receptacle by pushing on
the cable. Apply connection or disconnection forces at the connector
only.
