with a pair of scissors, adding a few centimetres.

You can easily lay the POF cable at home under carpets, behind shelves, or in the edge
between walls and the floor. Doing so, please ensure that you do not place any heavy
items on the POF cable and that you do not bend it down to less than 25 mm.
For the installation of the POF cable on plain surfaces, all mechanical methods are suit-
