5. PACKING AND DRUM
5.1 ZTT cables are coiled on plywood or wooden drum. During transportation, right tools should be
used to avoid damaging the package and to handle with ease. Cables should be protected from
moisture; kept away from high temperature and fire sparks; protected from over bending and crushing;
protected from mechanical stress and damage.
