A structured wiring foundation is
the most effective way to distribute
information throughout a home. it
supports high-performance technology
through clutter-free cabling hidden
behind the walls. To ensure more
efficient installation, run a single home
run to a central distribution point and
bundle cables for access to multiple
services. there are several fundamentals to
remember when working with cat 5:
• on-Q products utilize the t568a wiring
standard
• never splice cat 5 cable
• always maintain a 12-inch minimum
separation between the cat 5 and any
120 Volt ac cabling. if you must cross
and electrical circuit, do so at a 90
degree angle
• always maintain a minimum bend
radius of 1 inch.
• never exceed the 25 pound pull limit.
doing so may pull the twists out of
the wire, which is what gives cat 5 its
immunity from interference. For the
same reason, you shouldn’t stand on
the wire or use any retention devices
that flatten out the wire.
