According to ANSI/TIA/EIA-569-B guidelines, how long are horizontal pulls between pull points allowed to be?

• A. 98' (30cm)
• B. 50' (15m)
• C. 60' (18m)
• D. 120' (36m)

Answer: (A)

Horizontal cable pulls between pull points are limited to about 30 meters to keep pulling forces within safe limits and to maintain practical bend radii as you route the cable through conduits and around corners. This spacing helps prevent damage from excessive tension and makes installation more predictable, since pull points are placed roughly every 30 meters along the run. The maximum distance is about 98 feet; shorter lengths are allowed, but longer distances would exceed the guideline. Note that any option showing 30 cm is a typo—the intended value is 30 meters.
