HP-UX Integrity Installation Overview & Planning Attach Cable Guides & Cables Cable Routing and Bend Limits Pre-form the cables to the bent condition prior to installation if possible. This reduces any undue strain at the plug/receptacle connection at the time of installation. Handling or installing an InfiniBand technology cable in a manner that results in a tight bend radius or excessive twisting can result in immediate or latent failure of the cable. -

Page 26: Cable Routing And Bend Limits
ProLiant Linux Installation Overview & Planning Attach Cables Bundles of cables should not be “tie-wrapped” with a tie-gun. These fasteners create pinch points on the cables that can crush the dielectric material and create impedance discontinuities. Rather, cables should be bundled using velcro strapping or other less compressive bundling techniques. -
