What are the most common mistakes to avoid during low voltage cable installation? ⚠️

2025-08-15

Avoiding common mistakes is crucial for ensuring a high-quality installation. We advise our customers to be aware of the following:

  • Incorrect Lubricant: Using improper lubricants like dish soap can actually increase friction and damage the cable. Always use a professional, purpose-built cable pulling lubricant.

  • Over-Tensioning: Pulling too hard can stretch or break the cable's conductors. Use a puller with a tension monitoring system to stay within the cable's safe pulling limits.

  • Ignoring Bends: Each bend in a conduit adds significant friction. Failing to use proper sheaves and lubricants at these points can lead to excessive tension and damage.

  • Failing to Prepare the Conduit: Before pulling, the conduit should be cleared of any debris, sharp edges, or water to ensure a clear and smooth path.
