Installing Cable
When you connect cable to your network equipment:
Examine cable for cuts, bends, and nicks.
Support cable using a cable manager that is mounted above connectors to avoid unnecessary weight
on the cable bundles.
Use cable managers to route cable bundles to the left and right of the network equipment to
maximize accessibility to the connectors.
Provide enough slack, approximately 2 to 3 inches (5.08 to 7.62 cm), to provide proper strain relief as
shown in Figure 100 on page 145.
Bundle cable using hook-and-loop straps to avoid injuring cables.
If you build your own cable, be sure that connectors are properly crimped.
When installing a patch panel using twisted pair wiring, untwist no more than 1 inch (2.54 cm) of
the cable to avoid radio frequency (RF) interference.
Discharge the RJ-45 Ethernet cable before plugging it into a port on the switch.
CAUTION
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable can build up ESD charges when being pulled into a new
installation. Before connecting any category 5 UTP cable to the switch, discharge ESD from the cable
by plugging the RJ-45 connector into a LAN static discharge device or use an equivalent method.
Use plenum-rated cable when it is necessary for safety and fire rating requirements. Consult your
local building codes to determine when it is appropriate to use plenum-rated cable, or refer to IEC
standard 850.
Keep all ports and connectors free of dust.
