Keep all cable runs under 90% of the maximum distance supported for each media type as
specified in the relevant standard. This extra headroom is for the additional patch cables that
will be included in the end-to-end connection.
Always use the same type of cable (except AWG) in the end-to-end connection.
Cabling installations and components should be compliant with the ISO/IEC 11801 standard.
Do not stress the cable by doing any of the following
Applying additional twists
Pulling or stretching beyond its specified pulling load rating
Bending it beyond its specified bend radius
Creating tension in suspended runs
Stapling or applying pressure with cable ties
Avoid placing copper cables near equipment that can generate high levels of
electromagnetic interference. Generally avoid locations near power cords, fluorescent lights,
building electrical cables and fire-prevention components.
Use the Plixus Power Calculator to ensure sufficient power for all units in the network.
