Cable handling is critical and the way in which cables are handled on a day to day basis has a lot to do with the performance of the specific cable. For example, reverse bending of any cable will cause damage and take years of the life expectancy of the cable. Before being used, cables should be carefully placed on a jack or a stand. This allows the paying-out the cable to happen easily -- as the reel will turn easier than it would otherwise. Cables can be payed-out either from the top or the bottom of the reel, depending on what is most convenient for the particular handler. When transporting the cable from the pay-off reel to the take-up reel, the distance between reels is recommended to be a minimum of 20 feet. This precaution is taken so that the cable is straightened out before being placed on another reel. To avoid potential problems occurring from a lack of handling expertise there are a number of other methods by which to store and transport cables. For example, the twisting and bending of cables has become a major problem in terms of performance of the cable.
