What is the risk associated with improper installation of limited-energy cabling?

Improper installation of limited-energy cabling can lead to significant risks, particularly in terms of safety and system performance. When cabling is not installed correctly, it may create conditions that are conducive to electrical faults, which can result in short circuits or overheating. These faults can become serious fire hazards, as an electrical short can ignite nearby materials, leading to potentially devastating consequences. Additionally, malfunctioning systems due to improper installation can compromise the functionality of alarms, security systems, and other critical operations that depend on reliable cabling, posing further risks to safety and security. Ensuring that cabling is installed following the appropriate codes and standards is crucial to mitigate these risks and maintain safe operational environments.
