CAUTION Cable management and connector strain relief must be
incorporated in the installation. Secure the cable no more than
15 cm from the antenna enclosure and at regular intervals along
its length as part of the installation to prevent cable wear and
eliminate strain on the terminal connector. Damage to the mobile
device connector interface or cable may otherwise result leading
to hardware failure.
