Tips

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius of 4 times the cable diameter. Use cable ties or Velcro straps to organize multiple red cables, and label both ends to streamline troubleshooting. Pair with Cat6a shielded patch panels and keystone jacks to preserve end-to-end shielding continuity.
