Installation
Practice
|
|
:
Stick with one configuration ( 568-B or 568-A)
: All Hardware is same Rating (CAT 5e)
: Patch cords can’t exceed 33 ft total both ends
: All runs must be over 33 ft and under 295ft
: Min 5" from Florescent Lighting Ballasts
: Min 4ft from transformers
: Never run power cables with data with out proper separation
: Cross Power cables at a 90-degree and try to keep 2"
away if possible
: Avoid heating ducts
: No untwisting of pairs
: No Splicing
: Use Factory terminated Patch cords
: Max 2" jacket stripping
: Punch down no more that _" from last twist
: Min bend radius, 4x Diameter of cable
: Apply cable ties
loosely / Prefer Velcro ties
: Don’t exceed 25 Lbs of pull / Avoid stretching cable
: Don’t use staple gun
: Leave 10ft service loop at each end
: Leave 12" service slack in wall plate
: Avoid kinking cable
: Min of two cat 5e cables at each plate
: Patch panel / punch each 4 pr left to right start with
solid blue
: Install cable at 50 degrees and up
: Terminate one conductor at a time. Do not use multi punch
down tool
(There are exceptions) make sure each conductor is cut through
properly.
