Use Wire Mesh to Hold Network Cabling

As we’ve mentioned in a past post, network cables almost always used to run in troughs beneath the floor. There had to be large holes in the troughs and in the floor tiles so that the cables could go from the floor to the cabinets. But now it’s recommended that you install simple wire mesh raceways (cable trays) and hang them above the cabinets. You’ll be able to have as few or as many cables in there as needed by your cabinets. What’s the advantage? The head will just go through the wire mesh instead of around it. However, you’ll want to remember to install and HANG the wire mesh tray at least four inches above the cabinet so that you can move or remove the cabinet without having to mess with the wire mesh.
