4.5 Installing Cable - Some Guidelines


4.5 Installing Cable - Some Guidelines





  1. When running cable, it is best to follow a few simple rules:
  2. Always use more cable than you need. Leave plenty of slack.
  3. Test every part of a network as you install it. Even if it is brand new, it may have problems that will be difficult to isolate later.
  4. Stay at least 3 feet away from fluorescent light boxes and other sources of electrical interference.
  5. If it is necessary to run cable across the floor, cover the cable with cable protectors.
  6. Label both ends of each cable.
  7. Use cable ties (not tape) to keep cables in the same location together.
