Modular Furniture Floor Mounted Boxes

Aug 25, 2005 1 Replies

I need to install 12 Cat5E into modular furniture. Would installating an additional patch cable cause significant problems? Does this violate the applicable cabling standards? (see below)


Floor Box RJ45---Patch1---Modular Furn.OutletRJ45--Patch2-----PC


Would bringing the cable through the floor box directly to the modular furniture outlets be a better idea? This would only require one patch cable on the station end.


Any sugggestions would be appreciated.


Nah, no problems. Well sort of. If you only have one or two other connections. TIA-568 allows for up to four connects for Cat5e & Cat6.
