 Mounting Cable on the Wall
The simplest
way to mount cable is to attach it to a wall. Use this
method only where the cable will be out of the way of being
bumped or pulled. Corners between walls or between a wall
and a ceiling are good places to surface mount cable.
Attach the cable to the wall using tie-wraps.
To use "holey" tie-wraps, you'll need to drive screws. Adhesive tie-wraps are
easier to mount, but you can't move them afterward.
DON'T use
staples to attach cable to the wall. Because stapling is
likely to pinch the cable, you will risk causing data to
be transmitted at a slower rate. Stapling does not conform
to the EIA 568A specification for
installing Category 5 cable.
