Cable Team

Primary Responsibilities

• Organize all power, data, and extension cables
• Intake and stage control boxes
• Label, coil, and store cables into rolling road cases

Setup Area

• Work under the Ramada
• Picnic tables should be staged for sorting
• Rolling road cases should be nearby and accessible

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. As cables arrive:

   • Check both ends for existing length labels
   • If missing, label both ends with cable length

2. Coil cables neatly:

   • Use proper over/under technique
   • Attach a Velcro tie to every cable

3. Sort cables into road cases by:

   • Cable type
     • Extension cords can plug into wall outlets
     • Pixel data cables have one male end (with three prongs) and one female end (with 3 holes)
     • Power injection cables look like pixel data cables but should be marked with red or pink tape. They will have two male ends (ends with prongs).
     • Ethernet cords
   • Cable length

4. Red or pink tape on a cable:

   • Indicates power injection
   • These go into the Power Injection road case

5. Control boxes:

   • Short adapter cables (<6”) may stay attached
   • Longer adapters should be removed and stored with the rest of the cables

6. If cables are slow coming in:

   • Begin disconnecting unused yard extension cords
   • Sort and store them as normal

7. Take everything to storage

   • Once all cables and boxes are cleaned up everything (road cases and control boxes) can be taken to the Building A storage area
