after you have ensured that there is no short circuit or open circuit in the cables.
Prerequisite
The connectors for the IF cables must be made.
Procedure
Step 1 At one end of the IF cable, use a short-circuiting line to short-circuit the internal and external
conductors, and then use a multimeter to test the resistance. The resistance should be 0 ohms.
Step 2 Remove the short-circuiting line, and use a multimeter to test the resistance between the internal
conductor and the external conductor.

l PVC tape
Precautions
To facilitate the removal of tapes, first wrap a layer of PVC tape and then wrap the waterproof
insulation tape over the first layer.
Procedure
Step 1 Clean the connector or the grounding clip.
Step 2 Optional: Wrap a layer of PVC tape on the IF connector or the grounding clip.
1. Stick one end of the tape to the IF cable 2 cm away from the connector or the grounding
clip, The sticky side should face inwards.
2. Stretch the tape until it is 3/4 as wide as its original size. Stretch the tape in this manner
when performing the following steps.
3. Wrap the cable spirally towards the connector or the grounding clip at a point that is 2 cm
away from the connector or the grounding clip to the other side. Make sure that the
overlapping area of the adjacent tape layers is 1/2 of the stretched width.
Step 4 After wrapping, squeeze the tape until it sticks to the cable. This ensures that there is no air
between the layers of tape.
Step 5 Similarly, wrap three layers of PVC tape over the waterproof insulation tape.
During the wrapping, maintain the stretched length such that the width of the PVC tape is 3/4
of the original size.
Figure 1-23 Wrapping three layers of PVC tape over the waterproof insulation tape
Step 6 After waterproof processing, use the outdoor bundling strap to bind the PVC tape tightly at the
positions 1 cm away from the wrapping edges at both ends, to prevent aging and falling off of
the PVC tape.

Result
Routing and bundling cables according to the specified regulations is an important factor to
ensure reliable transmission of signals.
2.1 Regulations for Routing and Bundling the Indoor Cable
In actual situations, you must strictly observe the regulations when routing and bundling the
indoor cable.
2.2 Routing and Bundling the IF Cable
In actual situations, you must strictly observe the regulations when routing and bundling the IF
cable.
2.1.1 Cabling
When routing cables, ensure that signals are transmitted reliably, and also ensure that future
maintenance is easy.
l Signal cables should be routed separately from power cables, fiber jumpers, and jumpers.
l The specifications and cross-sectional area of the cable, and the route and position for the
cabling should be designed beforehand. All the cables should be arranged neatly.
l Cable turns should be smooth. The bending radius of cable turns should be larger than 60
mm, and the bending radius of fiber turns should be larger than 40 mm.
l There should be no damage to the insulating layer of the conducting wire.
l Cables that are routed along the wiring frame must be bundled.
They should be bundled closely with appropriate tightness. The spacing between cable ties
should be even.
l Cables in troughs do not need to be bundled. They should be placed neatly and in a straight
manner without any crossover. The cables should not protrude from the trough. The cables
should be bundled with cable ties at the inlets, outlets, and at the turns of the trough.
l IDU cables should be routed along the left and the right to facilitate operations, and should
not cover the board indicators.
In other words, the cables of the boards in the left slots should be routed to the left of the
cabinet and those in the right slots should be routed to the right of the cabinet.
l Leave enough slack when connecting cables to the IDU to facilitate insertion and removal
of the boards and the fan box. If the IDU is equipped with a fan box, the cables of the IDU
have enough slack so that they can be routed away from the front of the fan box.
2.1.2 Bundling
Cables must be tightly bundled. The bundled cables should be neatly arranged.

l Ensure that the mat side, and not the hook side, of the binding strap is in contact with the
fiber jumpers.
l Bundle fiber jumpers with appropriate tightness. Do not bind them too tightly.
l The spacing between two binding straps should not exceed 40 cm.
l Do not bundle too many fiber jumpers together.
In the case of the 2 mm fiber jumpers, a maximum of 100 pieces can be bound together. In
the case of the 3 mm fiber jumpers, a maximum of 60 pieces can be bound together. If there
are a large number of fiber jumpers, bind them into several bundles.
Engineering labels for indoor cables should be filled and affixed based on this specification,
unless the customer requires otherwise.
There is a dividing line on the label. In the upper left corner, there is a mark "TO:". The mark
is used to identify the opposite end of the cable to which the label is affixed.
The label is affixed to the identification plate on the cable tie that binds the cable.
