RCDD · Question #27
Which of the following is NOT an example of a perimeter pathway?
The correct answer is A. Furniture pathways. Perimeter pathways are systems that run along room boundaries and walls; furniture pathways are a separate category specific to open-office furniture systems.

Why each option
Perimeter pathways are systems that run along room boundaries and walls; furniture pathways are a separate category specific to open-office furniture systems.
Furniture pathways are integrated into systems furniture and are classified as a distinct pathway type used in open-office environments, not as perimeter pathways. Perimeter pathways by definition run along the perimeter of a space - walls, baseboards, and floor-wall transitions - which furniture pathways do not.
Surface raceways mount along walls or baseboards at the perimeter of a room and are a standard example of a perimeter pathway.
Multi-channel raceways installed along walls qualify as perimeter pathways because they follow the room boundary and separate multiple cable types.
Under carpet cabling runs along floor perimeters near walls and is specifically classified as a perimeter pathway type.
Raceways integrated within walls are built into the wall structure at the room perimeter and are a recognized form of perimeter pathway.
