Cables and Connectors
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the pressure
required to seat or unseat the cables during insertion or removal from the connector.
Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all cases avoid bending, twisting, or
tearing the cables, and ensure that the cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be
caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Most of the cables used throughout
the unit are ribbon cables.
