We break down essential technical concepts for low-voltage professionals, from proper termination block spacing to ladder safety protocols. 

• Use the four square inch rule for every four-pair circuit when planning termination block wall space
• UPS batteries perform best at 77°F with life reduced by half for every 10°C above optimal temperature
• Speaker coverage for speech intelligibility requires checking polar plots at 2kHz with attention to the -6dB drop point
• Stranded patch cords have 25% more attenuation and require careful handling to prevent impedance swings
• Work breakdown structures should include planning, kickoff, actual work, and closeout phases
• Outside plant installations involve public, private, and railroad right-of-ways requiring proper permits
• Ladder safety requires checking spreaders, rubber boots, weight ratings, and never using damaged equipment
• Never stand on the top two rungs of a ladder or allow multiple people on standard ladders
