Carlon Structured Cable Management Systems Handbook - Low Res - Manual (Page 10)

The term “low voltage” will refer to any device that
uses a Class 2 circuit per NEC Article 725 or any typical
structured cabling device or cable such as a CAT5e,
coax, or security. A high voltage device will refer to
any device that is installed in a standard box in
compliance with NEC Article 370.
Low Voltage Devices Only
So, you are installing low voltage or structured cabling
devices only. The next questions to be answered are:
1. DO YOU REQUIRE A LOW VOLTAGE
BRACKET (OR OPEN BACKED BOX)?
Refer to Section 3 (page 11).
2. WILL YOUR LOW VOLTAGE DEVICE BE
INSTALLED IN A FIRE-RATED WALL?
Refer to Section 4 (page 14).
3. WILL THIS BRACKET BE INSTALLED IN A
LOCATION WHERE THE WALL THICKNESS
MAY INCREASE IN THE FUTURE SUCH AS
LOCATIONS WHERE CERAMIC TILE OR
WOOD PANELING IS ADDED?
Refer to Section 5 (page 16).
High And Low Voltage Device
Combination
Do you have an application where you would like to
put a high and low voltage device side by side, under
one cover plate? For example, how much nicer would
one wall plate look in the den where you need a
receptacle to power your computer and a CAT5
connector to hook your computer up to the Internet
instead of two separate plates? Another example is
in your home theatre where a power connection is
