TX – An ICC Elite Installer, located in Texas, was hired to expand an existing structured cabling system that supported Gigabit Ethernet applications. Using CAT6 bulk cable with 23 AWG solid wires, they were able to achieve their desired results. With the convenient pull box design, dispensing 74,000 feet of CAT6 UTP cable from the data room was a simple task. The sequential markings on the outer jacket also made marking and measuring the cable easy and precise. The blue and white colors of the cables made distinguishing them apart a simple procedure. The installer also set up 4 post distribution racks to add 48 port patch panels that added 672 drops in the telecom room. The racks helped facilitate and maximize the space within the data room for the additional equipment. In the work area, the installer over 1,000 CAT6 HD modular jacks to connect equipment too.
