Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or qualified network infrastructure contractors. Follow TIA-568 standards for termination practices, including maintaining pair twist as close to the termination point as possible to preserve signal integrity. Use a 110-style punch-down tool for IDC termination. Verify the correct T568A or T568B wiring scheme matches the existing infrastructure before terminating.
