Wire Management
We have previously mentioned some wire management issues such
as protecting wires in the Mud Ring Boxes from sheetrock compound,
keeping all wires out of high traffic areas such as catwalks, etc. When
crossing a catwalk run below it or use some sort of hangers to get the wire
high enough so that it is not a choke hazard. When using junction boxes,
make sure that all cables are labeled and that the wire nuts are on tight and
secured with electrical tape, and that the box lid is labeled as well. In the
enclosures, use nylon “wire ties” or “zip ties, and their “anchors” (see figure
14) to keep wires together in a neat arrangement. Again each wire should
be labeled for future identification should future service work be needed.
When bundling wires together with “zip ties”, slide the tie through the
anchor’s slots, loop the tie through its own slot and pull until the wires come
together until the cable bundle makes up about 50% of the circumference.
Make sure that you clip off the excess tie part in a straight cut so that the
end is not a sharp point. Also, when clipping this excess off, you obviously
want to ensure that no wires will be damaged.
