Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed electricians following NEC Article 800 guidelines for telecommunications cabling. Power down or disconnect active network equipment at the relevant port before swapping patch cords in live environments to avoid data disruption. Avoid sharp bends or kinking the cord below its minimum bend radius, and do not route alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation.
