Leviton Cat 6A - 2.1.1 - Cable Reels; 2.1.2 - Cable Pulling; 2.1.3 - Bundling

Cable Pulling
The maximum pulling tension for a four-pair balanced twisted-pair
cable must not exceed 25 lbf (110N). Exceeding this tension
will result in transmission degradation and may aect the system’s
ability to pass certification testing.
Routing and Handling
Cat 6A cables are larger and heavier than Cat 6 and earlier cables, and they
require modifications to older cable routing and handling techniques.
The following tips will help ensure a smooth installation.
Cable Reels
Typically, Cat 6A cable will come on
reels instead of in pull boxes and will
require racks/carts that can support
their larger size.
Bundling
Use VELCRO
®
Brand fasteners to secure all cable bundles. VELCRO
®
Brand fasteners won’t crush or damage cables like tie wraps can,
and are reusable for moves, adds, and changes.
