2.2.2 Cabling installation, maintenance and safety tips
WARNING! To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment, please observe the
following precautions.
The following is a list of important safety considerations that should be reviewed prior to installing or maintaining your
cables:
•
Dress the cables neatly with cable ties, using low to moderate pressure. Do not overtighten ties.
•
If bending the cable is necessary, make it gradual with no bend sharper than a one inch radius. Allowing the
cable to be sharply bent or kinked can permanently damage the cable’s interior.
•
Cross-connect cables where necessary, using rated punch blocks, patch panels and components. Do not splice
or bridge cable at any point.
•
Keep UTP cable as far away as possible from potential sources of EMI, such as electrical cables, transformers
and light fixtures. Do not tie cables to electrical conduits or lay cables on electrical fixtures.
•
Always test every installed segment with a cable tester. Toning alone is not an acceptable test.
•
Always install jacks so as to prevent dust and other contaminants from settling on the contacts. The contacts of
the jack should face up on the flush mounted plates, or left/right/down on surface mount boxes.
•
Always leave extra slack on the cables, neatly coiled in the ceiling or nearest concealed location. Leave at least
five feet at the work outlet side and 10 feet at the patch panel side.
•
Choose either 568A or 568B wiring standard before beginning. Wire all jacks and patch panels for the same
wiring scheme. Don’t mix 568A and 568B wiring in the same installation.
•
This product is not intended to be connected directly or indirectly by any means whatsoever to interfaces of
public switched telecommunications networks (PSTN).
•
Always obey all local and national fire and building codes. Be sure to firestop all cables that penetrate a
firewall. Use plenum rated cable where it is required.
•
Do not disable the power grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
•
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
•
Disconnect the power from the product by unplugging the power cord from either the electrical outlet or the
product. The AC inlet is the main disconnect for removing power to this product. For products that have more
than one AC inlet, to remove power completely, all AC line cords must be disconnected.
