Cable
Cables should be marked with a unique identification system. Where multiple
cables are to be grouped together along one route, markings should be
repeated at regular intervals along the cable, so that in the event of cable
damage, there may be a chance that the identification could be exposed and
the cables re
-
joined. Multiple cable marks are particularly important close to the
ends of the cables. The spacing of markings can vary according to specific site
requirements. As a guide, 5m to 10m is commonly applied, but closer spacing
nearer the ends.
