12. CABLING
12.2 Bend radius
Before connecting any cables, check the existing cable for kinks,
crushing, damage and poorly formed bends. These situations result
in the cable performance being impaired resulting in poor the
performance of the broadband service you are installing.
CABLE BEND
CAUTION
Bend Radius: Which is measured to the inside curvature is the minimum radius one can bend a cable without
kinking it, damaging it, or shortening its life. Bends in the cable must always be kept to a minimum.
12.3 Interference considerations
When checking or running cables pay attention to possible sources of RF interference as theses will interfere
with the broadband connection.
CAUTION
DO NOT run cables alongside High Voltage mains cabling especially external three phase cables. There should
be a minimum of 10cm between the cables, failure to follow this guideline can result in interference,
however can also cause the Rx /Tx cable of the installation being induced with a high voltage which can give
a nasty shock and also damage satellite and computer equipment
Try to avoid running near fluorescent lighting units
Lift/elevator or other electric motors and generators
Avoid other transmission sources such as two way radios and cordless phones
