Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or qualified IT infrastructure personnel. Power down or disconnect active network equipment before making or changing patch cord connections where disruption to live circuits is a concern. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards for proper routing, bend radius management, and labeling. Avoid sharp bends or bundling practices that exceed the cable's minimum bend radius specification.
