Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed electricians following ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain signal integrity. Do not over-cinch cable management ties, as compression can degrade Cat6a performance. Verify patch panel and switch port ratings match the Cat6a specification before installation.
