Questions answered
Structured cabling link identificationLink identification connects endpoints, labels and the intended service with the documented cabling layout.Structured cabling media selectionCabling media must suit the intended link, equipment interfaces and installation environment rather than a category label alone.Structured cabling pathwaysPathway planning considers routing, space, separation and access constraints under the applicable installation requirements.Structured cabling terminationTermination connects the selected media with compatible components using the applicable installation method and documentation.Structured cabling certificationCertification records identify the tested link, selected test limits, instrument information and result rather than merely confirming connectivity.

How to interpret the answer
- Identify link endpoints and intended service
- Review compatible media and pathway requirements
- Record termination and testing arrangements
- Retain labeled link records and qualified acceptance results
