Carlon SCMS Future-Proofing in Commercial Applications - Manual (Page 2)

The conduit is trade named Resi-Gard ® , it’s UL listed
and comes in various diameters. They also make a
whole line of orange nonmetallic brackets for low
voltage applications. The distinctive orange color lets
all the other trades in the construction project know
“this is for structured cabling, and to stay away!”
He contends that using tubing is the only thing that
makes sense. If changes need to be made in the future,
additional cables can be pulled in or replaced as needed
without creating any downtime for the business.
Weighing in on using a wireless network, Mr. Garin
states, “If you use a wireless network in any segment
of your business platform there is the possibility of that
information being pirated. What we advise the clients,
both the landlords and restaurateurs as well, if the
infrastructure is set up in the building so that your
tenets simply plug in and unplug, you have actually
improved the rental of the building. You’ve minimized
the maintenance and no one is going to come in and
rip out sheet rock each time there is a new computer
system put in. Having empty conduit to pull through
limits the destruction
of the building or
renovation of the
building, minimizing
down time.”
Once again, electri-
cal wiring is stable,
while structured
cabling is evolving.
If you want a design
that serves your
customers needs
for the life of the
building, be sure
to make accommo-
dations for these
differences.
