What should be done to cables after they have been pulled?

Putting cables onto racks and sealing them at the ends is essential for several reasons. First, storing cables on racks keeps them organized and prevents physical damage that can occur if they are left on the ground or coiled improperly. Proper storage also facilitates easy access when needed for installation or future work.

Sealing the ends of the cables is equally important. This prevents contaminants, such as dust, moisture, or other debris, from entering the cable and potentially causing damage or affecting performance. Contamination can lead to failures in communication or power transmission, which can be costly and disruptive.

Additionally, proper handling and storage of cables help maintain their integrity and ensure they remain in good condition until they are required for use. This practice also aligns with industry standards and safety protocols to minimize risks associated with improperly stored cables.
