If you have ever been involved in installing network cable then you will know that the most important thing to keep in mind is safety and that the easiest way to ensure safety is by being organised. Gone are the days of haphazard use of cable ties or unnecessary bends or rolls in the wire. Use of specifically designed products like J hooks or bridle rings will ensure a well laid out and safe network cable setup.
Network cable installation can be stressful enough but it is important to keep an eye on the future with regards to maintenance and dealing with possible malfunctions or other issues. There is no point in installing network cable in a rush so that the whole system is taken down because you can’t remove one without others.
Cables should never be run in unsafe locations or touching off of pipes or tiles. They should not be bundled too tightly and kinks or bends in the cable should be avoided. They should also be clearly labelled for ease of maintenance.
J hooks are a simple and cost effective solution to cable management. A metal hook in the shape of a J, they are cheap to buy and easy to install on walls. They are able to support small bundles of cables, preventing undue stress on the network cable. The base of the J is also broad enough to prevent kinks or bends in the cable.
Another method of cable management is the use of bridle rings. These are metal rings with a screw that can be installed in predrilled holes in a hole or ceiling. They are an effective method of cable management and support as they are non obtrusive, easy to install, and easy to remove if there is an issue.
