III. Installation Guidelines and Best Practices

Ensuring Safe and Efficient Installation

Proper installation is essential to maximize the performance and lifespan of the cable.

Cable Handling

• Avoid Excessive Bending: Ensure the bending radius is no less than 5 × OD to prevent damage.

• Careful Transport: Use protective measures during transit to avoid physical damage.

Routing and Fixing

• Secure Fixing: Use appropriate clips and fasteners to prevent cable movement during ship operation.

• Environmental Considerations: Avoid areas prone to high mechanical impact or chemical exposure.

Termination and Connection

• Use EMC-compatible glands to ensure effective shielding termination.

• Seal connections thoroughly to prevent moisture ingress.

Testing and Commissioning

Post-installation testing is crucial:

• Conduct insulation resistance tests to confirm integrity.

• Verify EMI shielding performance using standard EMC testing methods.
