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 aect 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.
