Check to ensure data cables are installed in a carrier configured as a "Hardened Carrier". The carrier must be constructed of electrical metallic tubing (EMT), ferrous conduit or pipe, or rigid-sheet steel ducting, utilizing elbows, couplings, nipples, and connectors of the same material. NOTE: A Modular PDS may be used if constructed of solid metal components - as described above.
