Recommendations
In order to maintain signal integrity and avoid cable damage it is important not to put lateral strain on
the LEMO connectors used on the TC-301, 302, 303, 314 and 322 series cables, or to bend the cables
in too small a radius. Undue pulling force when routing the cable should also be avoided.
The bend radius should not be less than 4 times the cable diameter and the cable should be parallel to
the connector for a minimum of 100mm before any bend.
