You are tasked with designing a structured cabling system for a new office building. The building has three floors, and each floor will have its own intermediate distribution frame $($IDF$)$ to connect the work areas on that floor to the network.

You need to ensure that the cabling system adheres to standard requirements for horizontal cabling.

Which of the following practices should you follow to ensure compliance with standard requirements for horizontal cabling?

answer

Install solar panels on the roof to power the IDFs and reduce the need for horizontal cabling.

Use wireless access points as the primary means of connecting each floor's work areas to the IDF.

Ensure that the horizontal cabling from each work area to its respective IDF does not exceed $90$ m $(295$ feet$)$ in length when using copper cabling.

Connect each work area directly to the main distribution frame $($MDF$),$ bypassing the IDFs.
