Consolidation Point
Telecommunications Systems Bulletin TSB75, "Additional Horizontal Cabling Practices for Open Offices"
(published by the Telecommunications Industry Association 8/96), defines two styles of horizontal cabling systems
specifically geared towards modular furniture and the open office: the consolidation point and the multi-user
telecommunications outlet assembly. Both of these cabling system practices are designed to lessen the amount
of "re-cabling" involved in modular furniture moves. Below is an illustration of a typical consolidation point
application. The consolidation point functions as an interconnect between two sections of the horizontal cabling:
the main cabling from the telecommunications closet and shorter distribution cables which serve outlets in the work
area. The consolidation point enclosure is typically mounted in the ceiling or under access flooring. When furniture
moves are required, only the shorter cables must be reconfigured. Consolidation point modules are available for both
optical fiber and twisted-pair cabling.

Multi-User Telecommunications Outlet Assembly

| Telecommunications Systems Bulletin TSB75, "Additional Horizontal Cabling Practices for Open Offices"
(published by the Telecommunications Industry Association 8/96), defines two styles of horizontal cabling systems
specifically geared towards modular furniture and the open office: the consolidation point and the multi-user
telecommunications outlet assembly. Both of these cabling system practices are designed to lessen the amount of
"re-cabling" involved in modular furniture moves. Below is an illustration of a typical Multi-User Telecommunications
Outlet Assembly (MUTOA) application. The MUTOA is meant to be accessible to users and replaces individual work area
outlets. TSB75 allows for the use of work area patch cords longer than the 3 meters specified in the 568 standard to
accommodate multiple users. Each MUTOA should be labeled with the longest allowable patch cord according to the table
below.
