To guard against the minimum bend radius being violated or a cable being
pulled out of its plug, secure each cable in place with some form of
strain-relief device.
After mounting the interface in an enclosure (Chapter 4), pull the interface
out to the switch-setting position (where applicable) before connecting the
tap to the interface. This is the only way to be sure that the dropline will
have enough slack in the switch-setting position. (Remember the 3-inch
minimum bend radius.) Plug the right-angle plug of the dropline into the
jack labeled DATA HWY II PORT on the interface. Then, plug the other
end of the dropline into the jack on the front of the tap (Figure 3.16).
