3. Proceed with routing the Power and RF cables from their destinations in the aircraft to the actuator.
4. Place grommets around any hole drilled to prevent cable damage.
5. Secure cables every 6 to 12 inches.
NOTE: Maintain signal integrity by minimizing the losses due to sharp bends in the RF cable and
90
°
RF connectors.

it is easily viewed by the pilot and will not interfere with normal in-flight operations.
