I'm looking for suggestions beyond the 568 standards. When you arrive at a precabled site, what do you like to see? Obviously, the best solution is to make sure all trades are on the same page, have met and discussed what is needed, and hopefully even have a written spec. We all know that doesn't often happen, especially at smaller sites.

The reason I ask is that I'm considering entering a partnership with an electrical contractor. I thought about creating some handbooks or cheatsheets to hand out. Nothing too fancy, just something to make installers think about those that will come later.

Suggestions, tips and tricks appreciated. Any sites where you have been pleasantly surprised?

Did the same --- Mohawk/CDT had a good handout I used to train electricians. Also used specific pages from Bicsi and NEC --- the first for pathway variations from NEC, the NEC for fill rates, especially fiber.

Check with manufacturers for installation handouts.

KLD --- Why me? :shrug:

Leviton has a certification class. You should have your electrical contractor send some of his/her folks there. The give each participant a handy little tool set as well. It's a good introductory class.
