Cabling Work(C4I)

When planning for cable routes, we consider any obstacles within the route and identify the best practice for signal separation, pulling tension and bend radius.

Best practices we follow:

- Signal cables should be routed in a completely alternate path from power cables.
- Use rigid, metallic conduit for signal cables when nonmetallic conduit (PVC) is used for the power or when power and signal cables are close together over a distance.
- Do not put microphone cables and speaker cables in the same bundle or conduit.
- Keep voice lines separate from data lines to avoid spikes and data clicks in audio.
- If there is only one conduit, do not mix high level (line or speaker level) and mic level signals.
- When planning a cable route, keep your signal cables as far away as possible from sources of electrical noise; fluorescent lights, transformers, motors, elevator relays, radio transmitters for burglar alarms, and similar sources of noise.
- Install pull boxes every 100 ft or 180 degree of bends
