General notes on installation
At the final stage of manufacture, MICS cable is formed on drums or in coils
of
a
specified diameter, hence the length of one turn of cable on a drum or in a
coil can be worked out. Estimation of length can therefore be fairly
accurately made by counting the number of turns and part-turns.
When pulled from a coil or off a drum the cable often forms * waves'. These
can be effectively removed by the use of a roller straightener, which is
clamped over the cable and run backwards and forwards by hand with
gradual progression along the cable. Cables can be straight-jointe ...
