- Cable Abatement
Cable Abatement is a major concern globally. We identify cable abatement issues up front and recommend resolution for all projects. In the US, this is a code requirement - NEC Codes. Paragraph 800.52(B) of the NEC Code states: "...The accessible portion of abandoned communications cables shall not be permitted to remain.." Additionally, paragraph 800.52(1) states that abandoned cables in vertical runs shall not be permitted to remain.
