I know this is probably a wiring sub, but I can’t post there and there seems to be less followers...looking for a good set of eyes!
I’m looking for some help interpreting ANSI/TIA/EIA standards. - We have a contractor doing low voltage work in our buildings. They ran about 75 Cat6 cables and terminated both ends with modular plugs. On the MDF side, instead of terminating to RJ45 keystones or punching down to a patch panel, they terminated with modular plugs and used keystone couplers to create a “patch panel”. I’ve never seen cabling installed like that and wouldn’t do it myself because it’s another point of failure. The modular end could also easily be disconnected from the coupler on the “horizontal cabling” side. We specified to follow ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 standards. Is this acceptable? How does everyone else interpret the standards?
The cables aren’t even dressed nicely as well. There’s 48 coils of cables sitting behind the patch panel (well hanging 3-4RUs below) with the module end just plugged into the coupler.
