4.3. Cable Installation Guidelines
This section defines the procedures to be adhered to when installing data cables at
the base station.
Warning: Pre-terminated cables should be fitted with protective poly bags
during cable installation processes.
Metal cable trays shall be earthed to a central earth point within the customers’
equipment room.
Note: A minimum separation of 200 mm should exist between power and data
cables.
The following points are to be considered:
! When installing network cables, ensure they are not damaged by friction or sharp
edges. Spacing of installation personnel at regular distances during any cable
drawing-in process will avoid contact with potential hazards.
! Data cables providing connection to the customers network shall be run in
suitable conduits. Cable conduits should be secured to the wall in accordance
with manufacturers instructions.
! Cables should be carefully fed through conduits and not pulled by means of any
attached connector.
! Sufficient space should be provided in cable ducts, trunking or trays (where
possible) to allow for future cabling growth.
! External data cables are to be protected in protective conduit, which is to be
secured to the building structure in accordance with manufacturers
recommendations. Trunking must not be located as to provide a trip hazard at the
base station premises (e.g. roof walkways)
! BSR cables are to be dressed tidily to the mounting pole or bracket using
strategically placed cable ties.
