Here is the scenario, two brick (block) walls opposite of each other, one must have 14 drops and another 12 drops, all data.
What are the recommendations for this job, conduit inside the bricks, no conduit- wires inside the blocks, exterior drop on the wall to the jacks? , and or what type of conduit to be used?
The guys that came out to eyeball the job wanted electricians to drop extra electrical conduits for data only inside the blocks, or externally down along the wall vertically and/or horizontally.
I watched the battle unfold between the two as far as the standards go and which ones apply to whom. Gotta say one thing, the data guys seemed to be pretty clueless in that department.
My suggestion was to run it externally inside the receways similar to
these either in the corner and fan out jack out of it, have two at each corner of the wall, or just have them drop vertically about 3 or so providing sufficient amount of jacks.
