Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or IT infrastructure professionals. No special tools are required for connecting patch cords to RJ45 ports on patch panels and active equipment. Ensure all connected equipment is powered appropriately and follow TIA-568 bend radius guidelines to avoid degrading cable performance. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or pinching the cable during routing.
