Best Pract ices for Cabling
The following practices are essential to the reliability and longevity of cabled connections:
l
Use only shielded cables to resist interference.
l
For vertical runs, provide cable support and strain relief.
l
Include a 2-ft (0.6-m) service loop on each end of the cable to allow for thermal expansion and
contraction and to facilitate terminating the cable again when needed.
l
Include a drip loop to shed water so that most of the water does not reach the connector at the
device.
l
Properly crimp all connectors.
l
Use dielectric grease on all connectors to resist corrosion.
l
Use only shielded connectors to resist interference and corrosion.
