Does anyone have or know of some requirements specifications for communications cabling I can steal from?
I'm writing up some general requirements for structured cabling contractors, to use as a company standard. I've got the obvious stuff like "Data cable runs must conform to TIA/EIA-568 category 5e blah blah". But the corner cases and gotchas concern me. For example, I've added a provision that cables run through masonry must be run in conduit so they don't abrade. I've got a provision that testing must be done before walls are closed. That sort of thing. Pointers to standards are welcome, but it could also just be someone else's existing public contract language I could steal idea from. Assistance greatly appreciated. -- Ben
