Data cables of less than 20 pairs shall be mixed in bundles not exceeding 50 mm
in diameter.
Ensure cables are not trapped in cabinet doors, by slide-in equipment or support
metalwork.
Excessive stress on cable terminations caused by taught cables should be
avoided. Connector strain relief, if not built into the connector used, shall be
provided by means of a strategically located cable tie. A maintenance loop or a
generous amount of cable slack shall be provided just before the cable reaches
the WipLL device to allow for equipment removal without disturbance to
adjacent cables.
When installing network cables, ensure they are not damaged by friction or sharp
edges.
Data cables providing connection to the customers network shall be run in
protective conduits. Cable conduits should be secured to the wall in accordance
with manufacturers instructions.
External data cables are to be protected in metal conduits, which are to be
secured to the building structure in accordance with manufacturers
recommendations.
Wiring conduits must be placed in areas to prevent a trip hazard (e.g. don’t
install on roof walkways)
Cables should be carefully fed through conduits and not pulled by means of any
attached connector.
Sufficient space should be provided in cable conduits, trunking or trays (where
possible) to allow for future cabling growth.
Data cables threaded into holes drilled in walls are to be covered by a waterproof
sheath to prevent water penetration.
Silicone sealant should be used to plug any holes on both internal and external
wall surfaces once cables are in place.
Cables not housed in conduits must be placed in a manner to avoid a trip hazard.
(Avoid trailing wires across passageways.)
