To keep your cables in good condition:
- Avoid nicks and cuts around contacts, as these are the sealing surfaces.
- Do not pull on the cable to disconnect connectors; pull the connector itself.
- Avoid sharp bends at cable entry to connector. It is important to check the bend radius for each cable to ensure adequate usage!
- Ensure that the cable is fixed to the mounting fixture to avoid mechanical stress to the connection.
- Elastomers can be seriously degraded if exposed to direct sunlight or high ozone levels for extended periods.
