How to run CAT6 through a block wall

[nessman]

I wish I found this on the internet. I wish I made this stuff up. But I found this while we were installing phones at a customer site undergoing construction. Instead of drilling through block, using conduit and firestop, they just laid the cable on top of a course of block, mortared over it, and kept building the wall.

Based on an installation I was involved with, serial terminals and unix, could we possibly give somebody a break here?

Mine was a building contractor deciding on a wall after the cables were run based on changes in how parts of the building were going to be used after most of the building was finished.

Building owner made a psycological evaluation of me after I expressed my opinion. The evaluation wasn't nice, but neither were my comments. They remembered on Friday afternoon that they needed cables run before they started installing drywall Monday at 8.

I don't see the problem. Those are probably the connections between their high-speed DSL modem and their D-Link DIR-615 router and the customer was worried about hackers and told the installer that they wanted a firewall because they read an article that said firewalls stop hackers. Done and Done. (;->)
