Being a cheapskate usually will come back to bite you in the arse sooner or later. If you had no intentions to listen to our advice, then why post your questions and concerns in the 1st place?

Those cheap cables probably aren't even copper.

Keep in mind also that it is an electrical code violation to run cords in walls and ceilings. Most patch cords do not have a type CMR rating and none have a CMP rating. If you run these in a plenum ceiling space, you are committing a serious safety breach.
If you're doing a full office build out, your installation will never pass an electrical inspection. You'd have to go in after the certificate of occupancy has been issued and install the wiring after the fact. Again, this is dangerous and illegal.

I'm guessing he does not care about electrical inspection since "In over 31 years of owning a business, I have never needed to hire an outside electrician or cable installer. "

We're going in circles here so I'm going to lock this topic. Might save the OP from getting further bloodied.  bsmith: These are really a bunch of good helpful people. When you come to a professional site and ask how to do the job unprofessionally you about have to expect these type responses. Just grow some thick skin and ask away.
