When you bend cables, bind cables as shown in Figure 123. To avoid cable core break due to excessive stress, do not tie up the cables in the bending area.

Figure 123 Binding the cables

Route, bind, and attach excess cables for easy, safe maintenance activities and correct operations.

Do not tie the power cables to the slide rails.

When you connect a cable to an articulated part, for example, when you connect a grounding cable to a cabinet door, leave enough slack in cables and make sure they are not stressed from any movement of the part.

Cables must be protected at points where they might rub or come in contact with sharp edges or heated areas. Use high temperature cables near heat sources.

Securely fasten cables and take adequate measures to prevent loose connections.

Fasten heavy or rigid power cables at the connectors to relief stress.

Do not use tapping screws to fasten the connecting terminals.

Bind together cables that are the same type and routed in the same direction.

Table 53 lists the cable bundling specifications.
