Guidelines for Routing the Network Cables
WARNING: Shock hazard
Do not route the network cables in the same conduit or panel as the AC and DC power
:cabling.
To ensure maximum performance of your network, follow these guidelines when routing the network cables. Route the cables before installing
•Route the cables away from sharp edges that might damage the insulation. Avoid sharp bends in the
•Allow for some slack in the cable tension.
•Keep the alignment of wire pairs inside the sheath as straight as possible.
•Allow separation between data and power cables (data cables should only cross a power cable at right angles).
•Do not staple the cable with metal cable staples. Use the appropriate hardware fasteners to avoid damage to the cable.
CAUTION: Unpredictable device behavior
Do not connect one end of the network to the other to make a ring or loop.
