| 9.4.6 | Supporting horizontal cabling
Many installers like to run cable in attics or dropped ceiling spaces because it is out of sight. When running cable in a dropped ceiling space, never lay the cable on top of the ceiling. You must provide some other means of support for the cable. As mentioned before, wall-mounted gutter offers one option for supporting the cable. Another option is to attach tie-wraps to the wires that suspend the dropped ceiling. If you use this option, string the cable from tie to tie. A third option for supporting the cable is to use a ladder rack. Ladder racks are hung from the ceiling and provide the best type of support for networking cable.
