Secure each cable in place with some form of strain-relief device to help make
sure that:

you adhere to the bend-radius of the cable

the cable is not accidentally pulled out of its plug

When you connect a dropline to an interface module, make sure that the
bend-radius is not less than 3 inches (7.6 cm). If there is not enough room to
adhere to the bend-radius specification, you must remount the tap following the
instructions provided earlier in this chapter.
