Hardware Installation
• Cables must not pull or create a lateral stress on the connectors; that is, they must be
long enough.
• Cables must be installed in such a way the personnel working in the vicinity of the
equipment do not trip on them.
• Keep cables away from:
• Sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters, and broadband amplifiers
• Power lines
• Fluorescent lighting fixtures
• Liquids or moisture
• Heat sources
