place with methods such as Velcro, double stick foam tape,
screws and nuts, cable ties etc. All mounting hardware and
methods are at the discretion of the installer. Cables should also
be secured in place to avoid movement. Care should be taken not
to crimp any of the cables when installing them. And special
care should be taken not to route cables on or near sharp edges
