WI – An Elite Installer located in Wisconsin was hired to install a Category 6A (CAT6A) structured cabling system. Desktop applications required the system to support 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE). The installer recommended running CAT6A straight to the desktop. A seven-foot distribution rack was installed in the telecommunications room. The installer elected to mount modular blank patch panels to the rack and configure them with CAT6A keystone jacks. This option allows future moves, adds, or changes to be made quickly. To route cables vertically, double-sided finger duct panels were mounted to each side of the rack. 17,000 feet of CAT6A blue cable was pulled throughout the entire installation. In the work area, each workstation was equipped with an outlet consisting of two CAT6A data ports.
