Routing Fiber Optic Cables
Take care to properly route cables through cabinets and right angle raceways.
•
Install cables in raceways without loops.
Avoid placing fiber optic
cables in raceways and conduits with copper cables to avoid excessive
loading or twisting.

•
Protect cables from excessive or frequent bending.
Cables do not
have a flex rating. Routing on a cabinet door should be used as a last
resort. Special care must be taken to protect the cable and to avoid
exceeding the bend radius of the cable.
