When you strip a power cable, do not damage the conductor of the cable. l If the bare crimping terminal is not provided by Huawei, the value of L1 is 1 mm (0.04 in.) to 2 mm (0.08 in.) greater than the value of L.
NOTICE l When you strip a power cable, do not damage the conductor of the cable. l If the bare crimping terminal is not provided by Huawei, you can adjust the value of L as required. Figure 5-28 Stripping a power cable (JG terminal)
5.1.3.7 Testing the Connection of Assembled Cables Context Huawei provides two types of Ethernet cables: straight-through cables and crossover cables. Straight-through cables are connected in a one-to-one manner. They are used to connect terminals such as a computer or switch to network devices.
For example, in this document, the adapters of cable connectors have separate interfaces. In the actual situation, the adapters may have interfaces fixed on equipment. Use dedicated tools provided or specified by Huawei and follow the installation procedure described here.
Template for Printing You can obtain a template from the Huawei local office to print labels. The template is made in Microsoft Word. Follow these instructions to use the template: You can modify the contents of the template. Do not change settings of centered characters, direction, and fonts.
