Q:I want to run a CAT6 wire in an interior cement floor. Can I cover it as is or does it need to be in conduit?

Answer This Question
A: This is a bad idea. Concrete is a rigig material, and as it dries and cures, it can exert significant pressure on objects within it. The pressure from the concrete's expansion and contraction as it dries could potentially damage the cable or break it.

Q:The specification sheet refers to two different Riser models, one rated for 250 MHz and one for 550 MHz. I can't find either stock # from the spec sheet on this page or on the product itself in Home Depot. Does anyone know which model (250 or 500 MHz) this is?
