Prieš Pull Planning ir Risk Assesment

Through preparation separates a smooth pull from a chaotic one. Before any cable forees the reel, project manager and lead monters goverd comopinate on a detailed plan that accounts for cable types, route conditions, tools, crew compliements, and safety hazards.

Cable Type and Quantity Verification

Identify every cable type needded: power, data, fiber, coaxial, or control. Verify hils, jacket materials, and bend radius requigents.
