•
Straighten out the Flexible Cable when you connect it. If the cable is connected while it is
twisted, it will break faster. Check the indication on the cable surface to make sure that the
cable is not twisted.
•
Do not secure the portions of the Flexible Cable that move. Stress will accumulate at the
point that is secured, and the cable will break faster. Secure the cable in as few locations as
possible.
•
If a Flexible Cable is too long, looseness will cause it to break faster. It the Flexible Cable is
too short, stress at the points where it is secured will cause it to break faster. Adjust the cable
length to the optimum value.
•
Do not allow Flexible Cables to interfere with each other. Interference will restrict the motion
of the cables, causing them to break faster. Separate the cables sufficiently, or provide parti-
tions between them when wiring.
