What should be done if Class 2 cables are found to be abandoned?

When Class 2 cables are found to be abandoned, the appropriate action is to remove them completely. This is critical for several reasons. Abandoned cables can pose safety hazards, such as increased risks of fire, potential hazards during building renovations, or issues with future installations. Additionally, they may interfere with new installations or create confusion during maintenance.

By removing abandoned cables, problems related to liability or compliance with building codes can also be mitigated. Keeping the environment organized and free of unnecessary wiring contributes to safer and more efficient operation overall. Therefore, complete removal ensures that all wiring in a building is necessary, functional, and does not present security or safety risks.
