Requirements

• The work area cables shall be connected directly to work area equipment without the use of any additional intermediate connections. 
• Maximum work area cable length requirements shall also be taken into account. (i.e., C = [102-H] / 1.2, W = C-5, where W <= 22 m [71 ft]). 
• Multi-user telecommunications outlet assemblies shall be located in fully accessible, permanent locations such as building columns, permanent walls. 
• Multi-user outlet assemblies shall not be located in ceiling spaces, or any obstructed area.
• Multi-user outlet assemblies shall not be installed in furniture unless that unit of furniture is permanently secured to the building structure. 
• The work area cables connecting the multi-user telecommunications outlet assembly to the work areas shall be labeled on both ends with a unique cable identifier.
• The end of the work area cables at the multi-user telecommunications outlet assembly shall be labeled with the work area it serves, and the end at the work area shall be labeled with the multi-user telecommunications outlet assembly identifier and a port identifier.

Recommendations

• Work area cables originating from the multi-user telecommunications outlet assembly should be routed through work area pathways (e.g., furniture pathways). 
• The multi-user telecommunications outlet assembly should be limited to serving a maximum of twelve work areas. 
• Spare capacity should also be considered when sizing the multi-user telecommunications outlet assembly.
