Route master
Article Abstract:
In route planning and management of data cabling systems, route capacity can be calculated as if a building is to be flood wired. The calculation will usually take a ratio of outlets against available floor space. The cross sectional area occupied by an installed bundle of cables is dependent on the size and shape of the cables. Supported cables include horizontal cable tray runs, while unsupported cables include riser cable trays. EIA/TIA 569 is a common source of information when considering physical separation distances.

Able to cable?
Article Abstract:
The growing demand for data cabling has exposed the need for assured installation standards, with many competent electrical installers failing to recognize the importance of cable pulling and assigning low-grade staff to the task. In an attempt to redress the problem, Krone has established a training course, vetted by the Telecommunications Vocation Standards Council and supporting Krone's Associate Installers program.
