Poor termination, excessive length, tight bends, crushed cable, electrical interference, weak labelling and untested links can cause slow speeds or intermittent faults that are difficult to trace later. The design should consider cable length, pathway capacity, separation from electrical services, environmental exposure, bend and pulling limits, outlet locations, rack space, device density and likely future use.
