Here it is: the answer to yesterday's True or False series! ❌ FALSE! This aligns with #BICSI standard ANSI/BICSI 002 and is also supported by the TDMM (Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual), as well as relevant NEC (National Electrical Code) sections. Specifically: ▶️ ANSI/BICSI 002, which covers best practices for data centers and #ICT infrastructure, stresses safe and code-compliant cable routing, explicitly avoiding areas like elevator shafts due to risks of: ⚙️ Mechanical damage 🧯 Fire safety violations 🚧 Inaccessibility for maintenance ▶️ The TDMM reinforces that #cabling must follow NEC requirements, and clearly states that telecommunications pathways must not be routed through hazardous areas, including elevator shafts, unless for elevator control systems themselves. Thank you to all who participated; we loved seeing the community engaged in the conversation. 👏
