• Strip back only as much cable jacket as is required for termination and maintain pair twists as close as possible to the point of mechanical termination • At a minimum, never allow untwisting of pairs as specified: Category 5e and 6/6A: 0.5 inch max.

Maintain a minimum bend radius of 4x the cable diameter (4-pair cables)

Never exceed a 90 degree bend

Don’t over-tighten cable ties

Apply cable ties loosely and at random intervals

Try to minimize the amount of jacket twisting

Don’t over-twist cable, it can lead to torn jackets

Don’t exceed 25 lbs. of pulling tension

Avoid stretching the cable

Don’t use a staple gun to position cable

Use appropriate methods for dressing and securing cables: • Cable ties • Cable support bar • Wire management panels • Releasable straps
