Try to
maintain
a bend
radius of
(min.) 4x
the diameter
of the cable
for UTP and
100x for fiber.
Try no t to
allow the
cable to
twist too

creates a
strain on
the internal
cables.
Place cable ties
at regular

not over tighten
cable ties - try
to avoid using

Do not stretch
the cable
especially on
corners, in
vertical cable
trays and when
spanning long
distances.
