Configuration guidelines | Placement guidelines
No cable loops When cutting the cables for installation in the cable carrier, remove the cable from the coil tangentially and not in loops.
Do not twist cables When cutting the cables for installation in the cable car- rier, unwind the cable from the drum without twisting it.
Separating multiple cables Adjacent cables with strongly differing diameters should be separated by dividers. Directly adjacent placement of cables with strongly differing diameters has to be avoided. If this is unavoidable, ensure that the remaining clearance height is smaller than the smallest cable diameter. This is the only way to prevent the cables from becoming tangled.

Multiple layers When placing cables in multiple layers, we recommend installing a horizontal shelf between the individual layers for electric cables. Individually manufactured hole crossbars or partitions through dividers prevent adjacent cables from rubbing against each other. In many cases, it is beneficial to place each cable in a separate chamber. A horizontal shelf always has to be installed between multiple layers of flat cables.

Collating in protective hoses Thin hi-flex cables with low bending strength have to be loosely bundled and sorted in a protective hose. The cross section of the protective hose has to be significantly larger than the sum of the individual cable cross sections. As a guideline for determining the cross section: each cable takes up approx. 10 % of its diameter as a clearance all around.
