BICSI/TIA Question On Cat6 Behind Heaters
BICSI/TIA Question On Cat6 Behind Heaters
(OP)
Hey guys, I have a client who had cabling installed, believe it or not, behind 4-5 electric baseboard 3-4' heaters, some of which may be 347v.... Not one or two, but a whole bundle.... I am going to recable because they have so many connection issues, but I have to write a letter for them to be able to pursue the other cabling company for the botched job. Can anyone think of any pertinent TIA/EIA or BICSI codes I should cite... I am going to peruse my codebooks, but many heads are better than one!
Many Thanks!
Many Thanks!
