I wrote it. Yes, it is a catch all but that's the point. I do not know what the specific codes are in that area.
The reason for the simplicity of the statement is due to there being 16 seperate offices that needed the Cat-5 cables installed. However, the offices are small and only have 3 or 4 computers each. Not big enough jobs to warrant the expense of referencing specific codes.
The idea was that the contractor would use the commonly accepted standards for the area and apply them to each office, rather than what we ended up getting. So basically, I need to know the codes regarding low voltage, category 5 network cabling in a small business office.
Anyway, the contractor we hired are supposed to be network systems experts, so we did not feel the need to spell out every detail for them. It was understood that they would make the installations on category 5 standards (Cable selection, splicing methods, terminations, color codes, etc.)
