Dear Experts,

We're planning on remodeling our office building this year which will include new voice & data cabling.

Looking for some info on what to include in the RFQ for our vendors.

Our plan is includes two [2] CAT6 drops to each workstation for data & voice. We currently have CAT5 and CAT3 at each workstation, Fujitsu PBX, with VoIP planned in about 2 years.

As far as writing up the RFQ, what would typically be called out?

- Number of drops
- Cable Type/Brand
- Patch Panel
- Type of wiring block?
- Industry Standard?
- Test and certify
- Anything else?

Are two CAT6 drops per workstation pretty much the norm these days?

How many people are doing single CAT6 drops to the workstation and using a VoIP phone as the data port for a PC? Just curious.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
