Setting Up the Cabling Infrastructure
Firestops
A firestop is needed any time you penetrate a firewall (i.e., a floor, ceiling, or wall). The firestop
provides a fire barrier in case there is a fire in your facility. Each firestop has a burn-time limit
associated with it—a rating in hours.
Adding a Firestop
To add firestops in your infrastructure:
1. On the Navigation Tree, highlight the space where the firestop material will be located.
2. In the List View pane drop-down list, select the Firestops category.
3. In the List View pane, click Add. In the Firestop Info tab, the Source box shows the space
highlighted in the Navigation Tree.
4. In the Info tab, enter the Firestop ID, Manufacturer, and UL# fields.
5. In the Destination box, click Set Location.
6. In the Location window, highlight the destination for the firestop, and click Accept.
7. Click Save.
Note: Only the Firestop ID and the Destination are required to save Firestop information.
