Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices.
If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make
sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and
power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid
interference, wires with different signal characteristics
should be routed separately.
We strongly advise that you label wiring to all devices in
the system.
