mm or as specified by the manufacturer
• Power cable and grounding cable bending radius: > triple the diameter of the cable or
as specified by the manufacturer
Optical fiber bending radius: 20 times the diameter of the optical fiber or as specified
•
by the manufacturer
• Recommend not binding together the cables
Attach a label to identify each cable
