3 Mistakes to Avoid When Installing Industrial Cables

Installing cables seems simple—until it isn’t. Here are 3 mistakes we still see too often in the field:

1. Wrong bend radius
Forcing a cable into tight corners or ducts can damage its shielding and reduce lifespan.

2. Overlooking certifications
Using non-compliant cables can put your entire system (and people) at risk. Always check for IEC and RoHS compliance.

3. Improvising connections
Taping wires or mixing incompatible terminals is never a good idea. Use the right connectors—and the right crimping tools.
