Maintain external cable connections
Check external cable connections at least once a year. External cable is defined as any cable
or wire that enters the cabinet from an external source.
• Visually inspect all cables for signs of physical damage. If damage is present cables
should be repaired or replaced, if possible, per local site practices.
• Check all outside plant copper connections for complete and secure connection.
• Ensure that all cable management accessories provide a clean appearance. Replace
any fastening devices (i.e. tie wraps) so that they include all cables being secured.
• Check all fiber optic connectors to ensure that they are securely fastened.
• Check all connections on the cabinet ground bar for a tight and secure fit.
• Check all protector modules and fiber modules to ensure that all devices are
securely seated.
• Check all conduits to ensure that any material used to seal between the cable and
the conduit is still present and providing a complete seal.
