What is the recommended practice for cable storage after termination?

The recommended practice for cable storage after termination is to avoid storing cables in loops. This is crucial because storing cables in loops can create stress points and increase the risk of interference or damage to the cable’s internal structure. When cables are looped, particularly in tight curves, it may lead to issues such as bending, kinking, or pinching, which can affect performance and longevity.

Instead, it is preferable to store cables in a straighter manner, or in larger, gentler coils to minimize stress and maintain the integrity of the cable. This practice aligns with good cable management principles and helps ensure that the cables perform optimally when in use. Maintaining appropriate bending radii and avoiding sharp turns or tight loops is essential for preserving cable health and functionality.
