Cable connections and terminations
All cable connections are shown on the applicable cable plan and/or interconnection
diagrams.
Where the cable plan shows cable connections outside an equipment box outline, the
connections are to be made to a plug or socket which matches the plug or socket on that
particular item of equipment.
Where two cables are connected in series via a junction box or terminal block, the screens of
both cables must be connected together, but not grounded.
Care must be taken to ensure that the correct terminations are used for all cable conductors,
especially those that are to be connected to terminal blocks. In this case, crimped
sleeve-terminations must be fitted to prevent the conductor core from fraying and making
a bad connection with the terminal block. It is also of the utmost importance that where
crimped terminations are used, the correct size of crimp and crimping tool are used. In
addition, each cable conductor must have a minimum of 15 cm slack (service loop) left
before its termination is fitted.

Cable identification
Cable identification codes corresponding to the cable number shown in the cable plan must
be attached to each of the external cables.
The identification codes should be positioned on the cable in such a way that they are readily
visible after all panels have been fitted.
In addition, each cable conductor should be marked with the terminal board number or
socket to which it is connected.
