IA – An ICC Elite Installer located in Iowa was recently hired to install a voice and data cabling system. 55,000 feet of Category 5e (CAT5e) riser-rated cable was pulled, in addition to 5,000 feet of plenum-rated cable. The telecom closet consisted of two CAT5e 48-port patch panels installed on hinged wall mount brackets. To support connectivity to the phone system, 110 wiring blocks with 100-Pair connections were installed. 300 J-Hooks were used to route the cables along the walls. Four-port faceplates, configured with voice RJ-11 and CAT5e data jacks, were installed at each workstation. Also, wall plates with voice 6P6C connectivity and configurable surface mount boxes were used.
