Installation and Usage
Use appropriate hardware to clamp or tuck the cable. Maintaining a minimum bend radius to avoid internal wire breakage and fatigue of the cable. The cable ends should be saved from fraying, and hence, use a wire cutter of appropriate gauge and grind the ends after cutting the cable. You may scratch your hands or get friction burns. To avoid this, always wear hand gloves of PPE quality to protect your hands.
Maintenance
Regularly check the cable for kinks, frays, or corrosion. Rinse with fresh water and mild soap, and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. If you are using it for frequent movement or friction, ensure to apply a light coat of marine-grade lubricant to reduce wear and tear. When not in use, store the cable in a dry and enclosed space.
