Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. Ensure all active network equipment is powered down or ports are unused before connecting or disconnecting patch cords to avoid data interruption. Follow TIA-568 cabling standards for patch cord length and bend radius guidelines. Do not over-bend or kink the cord during routing, as this can degrade signal performance.
