Leviton Cat 6A - 2.2.4 - Structural and Cable Supports; 2.2.5 - Firestopping

Structural and Cable Supports
• Stronger anchors and threaded rods are needed to support heavier Cat 6A cable
• Use properly sized J hooks and other supports to accommodate bundle size
• Limit bundles to 50 cables to prevent damage to cables on the bottom
• Do not exceed cable support manufacturer’s recommended capacity
• Space cable supports randomly between 3 and 4 feet (0.9 -1.2 meters) apart to prevent system degradation due to sagging
• Do not use ceiling support wires or other ceiling components to support communications infrastructure
