CHAPTER 6
6.1 General guidelines on cable routing
Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide
Routing the cable into the property
•
Always ask the customer where they would prefer the cables to be
routed
•
Where possible, route the cables inside the wall/ roof spaces
•
THINK where the cables are going to go! Avoid air ducts, water and
gas pipes.
•
Try to use existing entries into the home to avoid having to drill holes.
•
Try to make the cable entry to the computer connections as close to
the customers PC as possible, using the shortest cable possible.
•
Where wires have to be routed outside of the building, make sure that
they are supported with cable clips at 18 to 24 inch intervals and are
not unsightly. Make sure that there is a "drip loop" at the point of
entry to prevent water ingress into the property. Seal any drilled holes
using silicon sealant.
