Reference Information
5.1 Protecting Cables from High Temperature &
Abrasion
Temperature and abrasion may damage the outdoor cables and lead to a degradation in
service. It is recommended to review the following information about protecting outdoor
cables. In extremely hot climates, the outdoor cable may be degraded when the
temperature of the metal tower structure exceeds the maximum specified cable rating. In
windy climates, excessive abrasion may damage the cables.
Redline recommends the use of suitable diameter spiral bound sleeve (generically called
'spiroband') to protect the outdoor cable. This product should be available from most
local electrical suppliers.
Figure 35: Ref. - Outdoor Cable Protection - Spiroband
Wrap the sleeve around the outdoor cable for at least 300 mm (~12 in) in each direction
from bonding points and any other area the cable is in direct contact with the metal
tower. Cable ties can be used in the normal way to secure the cable.
