No.

Check Item

Method

1

The installation position of the switch meets the requirement in the associated engineering design document.

Observe

2

The surfaces of the switch are clean and smooth, free from fingerprints, stains, and scratches.

Observe

3

Components are correctly installed in the cabinet. No component is loose or damaged.

Observe

4

All screws are correctly tightened.

Observe

5

There are no objects on the chassis.

Observe

6

Leave at least 50 mm (2.0 in.) clearance around the switch for heat dissipation. Do not install a switch with its air intake vent facing or close to the air exhaust vent of other devices.

Measure

7

Signal cables are not damaged or broken and have no splices.

Observe

8

Signal cable connectors are clean, intact, and correctly connected. Wires of each signal cable are securely clamped in the connectors.

Observe

9

Each signal cable has labels attached at both ends, with clear text facing the same direction.

Observe

10

The power cables and ground cable are all copper wires, and are not spliced or damaged.

Observe

11

The power cables and ground cable are routed in compliance with the associated engineering design document and meet the power distribution requirements.

Observe

12

The power cables and ground cable are securely connected in compliance with regulations. Ground cable lugs are protected with spring washers on flat washers.

Observe

13

The power cables and ground cable are separated from the signal cables.

Observe

14

The power cables and ground cable are routed straightly and bundled neatly. Sufficient slack is left at the bent part of the cables.

Observe

15

Optical fibers routed out of the cabinet are protected. For example, they are routed in a corrugated pipe or trough.

Observe

16

The bend radius of optical fibers is 20 times larger than their diameter. Generally, the bend radius is larger than 40 mm.

Measure

17

Optical fibers are bundled neatly using binding tape with suitable force.

Observe

18

No signal cables are routed near the heat vents on the cabinet.

Observe

19

Cables in the cabinet do not cross each other and cables outside the cabinet are bundled.
