How To Store Cables
Sep 17, 2022
If the cable is to be stored for a long time, the following considerations should be made depending on the location of the cable:
1. Under the eaves. Standard LAN cables can be used only if the cable is not exposed to direct sunlight or extreme heat, and conduit is recommended.
2. On the outer wall. Avoid direct sunlight on the wall and man-made damage.
3. In pipes (plastic or metal). If in pipes, pay attention to the damage of plastic pipes and the heat conduction of metal pipes.
4. Suspended application/overhead cable. Consider the sag and stress of the cable, which bundling method you plan to use, and whether the cable is exposed to direct sunlight.
5. Laying directly in the underground cable trench, this environment is the smallest control range. The installation of the cable trench should be checked regularly for dryness or dampness.
6. Underground pipelines. In order to facilitate future upgrades, cable replacement and isolation from surface pressure and surrounding environment, auxiliary pipelines are isolated, and auxiliary pipelines are a better method. But don't expect the pipes to stay dry forever, which will affect the choice of cable type.
