Cable Installation Best Practices

The video tutorial discusses common mistakes in cable installation, such as over-stripping cables and not securing them properly, which can lead to short circuits. It provides a step-by-step guide on how to correctly install cables into a plug, emphasizing the importance of ensuring the cable diameter is larger than the plug hole and using proper twisting techniques to secure the wires. The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of testing the installation to ensure the cable is secure and won't easily detach.

What is a potential risk of improper cable installation?

• Reduced electricity bill

• Improved electrical efficiency

• Cable detachment and short circuits

• Increased internet speed

What is the first mistake discussed in the video regarding cable installation?

• Using the wrong type of cable

• Excessive stripping of cable insulation

• Not using enough cable

• Incorrect plug type

Why is excessive stripping of cable insulation problematic?

• It increases the cable's length

• It makes the cable more durable

• It can cause the wires to short circuit

• It makes the cable too flexible

What is the second mistake highlighted in the video?

• Using a cable with too large a diameter

• Over-tightening the cable

• Not securing the cable sheath properly

• Using a cable with too small a diameter

What is the consequence of not securing the cable sheath?

• The cable's color changes

• The cable becomes fire-resistant

• The cable easily detaches from the plug

• The cable becomes waterproof

What is the purpose of creating cable loops during installation?

• To ensure the cable does not easily detach

• To reduce the cable's weight

• To increase the cable's length

• To make the cable look decorative

How can you ensure the cable diameter is larger than the plug hole?

• By using a thicker cable

• By creating loops or knots in the cable

• By using a smaller plug

• By stretching the cable

What is the final step in securing the cable to the plug?

• Tightening the screws on the plug

• Painting the cable

• Heating the cable

• Cutting the cable to length

Why is it important to have a larger loop diameter than the plug hole?

• To make the cable more colorful

• To prevent the cable from slipping out

• To make the cable more flexible

• To reduce the cable's weight

What benefit does the correct cable installation method provide?

• Faster installation time

• Reduced cable cost

• Stronger and more secure connection

• Increased cable length
