Was the cable sheath stripped off properly so that it can be put on the contact
ledge?
Are the connectors fastened with screws?
With redundancy:
Is the used connection suitable for the RLM 01?
Is an external termination installed at both cable ends?
With FO cables, only: Is the appropriate interface converter used?
Are signals RTS, VP and GND connected in addition to the interface converter?
