A Note on Securing Cables

A Note on Securing Cables

To prevent fraying or cutting of cables, secure them so they will not whip about 
in the wind. Secure a cable to a metal pole by wrapping electrical tape around 
them both. Make sure cables are secure by placing clips or ties approximately 
every 3 – 5' (1 – 1.6 m).

Note:

Do not use metal staples or a staple gun to secure cables. Metal staples—

especially when installed with a staple gun—have a tendency to cut the cables.
