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 .
