In a horizontal cable distribution design, how many cable runs are used to serve 15 outlets?

In horizontal cable distribution, you count the total number of separate cable paths that go to each outlet, and often multiple services are routed to each outlet. If three distinct services are provided to every outlet, you would run three cables to each one. For 15 outlets, that’s 15 × 3 = 45 cable runs. So 45 is the total. If only one service were needed per outlet, you’d have 15 runs; with two services you’d have 30, and so on.
