Wiring Closet Recommendations
The cabling system plan used at your facility
probably covers most wiring closet concerns. 3Com
also recommends that you check these items:
Verify that your wiring closet meets all
requirements mentioned in your facility cabling
plan.
Verify that your wiring closet and your facility
meet all state, local, and country building and
wiring codes.
Be sure that your system is easily accessible for
installation and service.
Provide adequate overhead lighting for easy
maintenance.
Be sure that all wiring closet doors have locks to
prevent unauthorized access.
Assign wiring closet identification numbers using
architectural location codes or some type of
floor-grid matrix.
Select a vinyl floor covering for your wiring
closet. Concrete floors accumulate dust; carpets
can cause static electricity.
