Note on removing Abandoned Cabling
The National Electrical Code (NEC 2002) requires that all abandoned copper and fiber cable be
removed. Literally, miles of cabling left in the ceilings and in the walls from previous network and
power installations by previous tenants have accumulated in most of our buildings. These
abandoned cables are a source for fueling fire, smoke and lethal toxic fumes that can
incapacitate and kill. The Code states "...The accessible portion of abandoned communications cables shall not be permitted to remain.."
These abandoned wires may now render your property out of code, jeopardize your fire insurance
and represent a significant legal liability .Contact Us Today for a Free Consultation |
