1. Installation of CAT6a structured cabling from the External Patching Rack 27 to the designated locations in MCTS and Internal Patching Racks 26 and 24 to Existing Racks inside the Equipment Room.

2. Routing and securing of cables to maintain compliance with industry standards.

3. Termination at patch panels in accordance with the Cable Installation Table.
