the TR or TE and may incorporate multiuser telecommunications outlet assemblies
(MUTOAs) and consolidation points (CPs). The maximum horizontal cable length
shall be 90 m (295 ft.), independent of media type. If a MUTOA is deployed, the
maximum horizontal balanced twisted-pair copper cable length shall be reduced
in accordance with Table 2.4.
Recognized cabling:
• 4-pair 100-ohm unshielded or shielded twisted-pair cabling:
Category 5e, Category 6 or Category 6A
• Multimode optical fiber cabling, 2-fiber (or higher fiber count)
• Single-mode optical fiber cabling, 2-fiber (or higher fiber count)

6. Work Area Work area (WA) components extend from the telecommunications
outlet/connector end of the horizontal cabling system to the WA equipment.
A minimum of two telecommunications outlets (permanent links) should be provided
for each work area. Multiuser telecommunications outlet assemblies (MUTOAs),
if used, are part of the WA.
(See Table 2.4 for the maximum length of horizontal cables and work area cords.)
