NONE of the cable runs shall be on the ceiling, tiles or grid. ALL cables run shall be supported using the existing cable trays or using J-hooks. The contractor shall terminate all cables appropriately terminated and subsequently tested and certified. A formal testing report shall be provided to the Social Security Administration. LAN CABLING: 2nd Floor: Run (2) LAN cables (minimum Category 6) from Office of Hearings Operations (OHO) LAN closet to the OHO IVT Room (Total length of each run is approximately 250 feet). (2) wall plates with female connectors are to be installed. Locations along wall are to be determined. Wall plates and the patch panel shall be labeled. 3rd Floor: Run (15) LAN cables (minimum Category 6) from Jamaica District Office LAN closet to the Jamaica District Office IVT Room. (Total length of each run is approximately 150 feet). The contractor shall purchase and install (15) new individual boxes with female connectors are to be installed. The exact box locations at the desks will be determined. Wire molding shall be installed to hide wires coming down from the ceiling along the window mullions.
