The demarc location is approximately 370 ft away on the far side of the building.

There are no identified locations where wall mounted outlets are required at this time.

This count appears to be more correct.

All horizontal cables shall be one color, and that color will be selected from the enumerated list of colors.

a. Incidental Equipment/Materials.

There is no requirement for the vendor to provide patch cables for the MDF for this requirement.
