Chapter 4
The Bottom Line
Identify the key industry code necessary to install a safe network cabling system.
Master It
What industry code is essential in ensuring that electrical and communications systems are safely installed in which an industry listing body is typically used to test and certify the performance of key systems elements?
Answer: The National Electrical code (NEC) under the national fire protection association (NFPA) is the code necessary to ensure compliance to safety regulations. The Underwriters laboratories (UL) are a nonprofit product safety testing and certification organization.
Understand the organization of the National Electrical Code.
Master It
1. What section describes the organization of the NEC?
Answer: Section 90-3
2. What is the pertinent chapter for communications systems?
Answer: Chapter 8
Identify useful resources to make knowing and following code easier.
