Raised Floor System

When installing cables in a raised floor system or in other floors for telecom equipment, the cables are placed directly on the floor or in cable chutes, 4 Example of Cable Routing in a Raised Floor System on page 9.

Routing cables on the floor is simpler and does not require the drilling and mounting of supports which are required for overhead cable routing.

When inspecting a raised floor system, make sure the following requirements are met:

• All floor pedestals and floor tiles are properly leveled.
• All floor mechanics are free from any damage or contamination.
• All ramps, guard rails, and borders are installed as required.
