Question
When allocating termination space for CAT 6 and optical fiber cables, it is recommended that additional space of up to ________ percent be considered for the routing of the cables and patch cords.
Options
- AFive
- BTen
- CTwenty
- DThirty
Explanation
Industry guidelines recommend allocating up to 20% additional termination space to ensure adequate room for routing CAT 6 and optical fiber cables along with their associated patch cords.
Common mistakes.
- A. A 5% additional space allocation is far too small to accommodate the practical volume of cables and patch cords routed through a termination area, risking congestion and bend radius violations.
- B. A 10% allocation underestimates the space needed for routing CAT 6 and fiber cables together with patch cords, leaving insufficient room for proper cable management.
- D. A 30% allocation exceeds the recommended industry guideline and would result in wasteful oversizing of termination spaces beyond what standards specify.
