room. Each meeting room has a panel with six microphone inputs, two line inputs, and two line outputs.
There are four exhibition halls; the two central ones each have two input/output panels, and the two end halls

Meeting rooms: An eight-pair cable and a four-pair cable are run to a remote equipment closet from each of four
meeting rooms in a 100-foot-long 1½-inch conduit. A 3-inch conduit is run from each remote equipment closet
back to the equipment room. These conduits each carry 4 eight-pair and 4 four-pair cables.
Total materials: 5,750 feet of 3-inch conduit, 4,000 feet of 1¼-inch conduit, 27,400 feet of 8-pair shielded copper
cable, and 27,400 feet of 4-pair shielded copper.
Exhibition halls: Each panel is home run to the central equipment room, an average of 1000 feet in a 2½-inch
conduit. Total materials: 10,000 feet of 2½-inch conduit, plus 10,000 feet of 16-pair and 10,000 feet of 4-pair cable.
