One really important thing to avoid is standing on the cable whilst working
on the installation. The insulation is very thin and crushing or kinking
the
cable caused the copper wire to cut through the insulation. In can easily
get crushed to the point where the insulation is amost non-existant. If the
cable is under any prolonged pressure, either from cable ties or the weight
of other cables resting on it, the damaged insulation will eventually fail
completely and short out. This can happen several months or even years
later. I have found instances of this many times before.
