6.7.6 Low-Voltage Mounting Bracket
A low-voltage mounting bracket is similar to a plaster ring and may
be used in place of an outlet box where permitted by code.
9.3.2 Telecommunications Pathway Separation From Lighting
Balanced twisted-pair cabling should be separated from  uorescent
lamps and associated  xtures by a minimum of 125mm (5 in.).
9.4.2.1 Planning
The design shall provide a suitable means and method for supporting
cables. Cable shall not be laid directly on the ceiling tile or rails.
9.4.2.2 Clearance
A minimum of 75mm (3 in.) clear vertical space shall be available
above the ceiling tiles for the cabling and pathway.
9.5.4.3 Cable Management
Providing physical management for cabling placed within the access
 oor system lessens the chance of damage or reduced performance
over the cable’s life cycle. A method of physical management for
major runs of cabling shall be provided. Management systems such
as raceways, cable tray, and non-continuous cable supports may
be used.
9.7 Non-Continuous Support
Non-continuous supports shall be located at intervals not to
exceed 1.5m (5 ft.). Non-continuous supports shall be selected to
accommodate the immediate and anticipated quantity, weight,
and performance requirements of cables.
Steel, masonry, independent rods, independent support wires or
other structural parts of the building shall be used for cable support
attachment points up to the total weight for which the fastener
is approved. Rods or wires that are currently employed for other
functions (e.g., suspended ceiling grid support) shall not be utilized
as attachment points for non-continuous supports.
NOTE: A weight of 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) (or 0.7 kg/m [0.5 lb./ft.] with spacing
of support wire/rod at 1.5m [5 ft.]) is equivalent to a bundle of sixteen
4-pair 24 AWG UTP cables, including fasteners.
9.8.3.1 Conduit Termination
Conduits shall be reamed to eliminate sharp edges. Metallic conduit
shall be terminated with an insulated bushing.
