T568B standard. 

Avoid any unnecessary junction points and cross-connects. Every added junction 
point and cross-connect can decrease the performance of the network. 

Multiple appearances of the same cable at different locations, referred to as 
bridge taps shall be avoided. Each cable segment shall have only one source 
and one destination. 

Never untwist the twisted pairs of a CAT 5 cable beyond 1.3 cm (0.5 in.) from the 
point of termination. Untwisting the wires can decrease the cable's category 
performance rating and degrade system performance. Refer to ANSI/TIA/EIA-
568-A and CSA-T529 for more information. 

Do not make sharp bends in CAT 5 cable. The bend radius for CAT 5 cable shall 
not be less than ten times the outside diameter of the cable. Bending the cable 
with a shorter bend radius can affect the electrical characteristics of the cable 
and degrade system performance. Refer to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A and CSA-T529 
for more information. 

Do not pull a CAT 5 cable with excessive force. CAT 5 cable should not be pulled 
with a force greater than 110 Newtons (25 lbs force), or as suggested by the 
cable manufacturer. Pulling a cable with too much force can change the cable's 
electric characteristics and degrade its performance. Refer to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-
A and CSA-T529 for more information. 

Do not over tighten CAT 5 cable with cable ties or other supports. Over tightening 
cable ties or other supports can change the electrical characteristics of the cable 
and degrade the system performance. Refer to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A and CSA-
T529 for more information. 

CAT 5 segment lengths shall not exceed 100 m (328 ft.). This includes 90 m  
(295 ft.) of building cabling and up to 10 m (32.8 ft.) of equipment cords, cross-
