Consolidation points are used to split long runs into shorter segments, and each copper channel must stay within a fixed length budget. The distance from the consolidation point to the telecommunications outlet is capped at 75 meters so that, when you add the remaining portions of the channel (the segment from the CP back toward the telecom room and any patch cords), the total horizontal channel length stays within the standard 100-meter limit. This keeps loss and interference within the allowable budgets for the cabling grade, ensuring reliable performance. If the CP-to-outlet distance were longer, you’d exceed the channel length budget and risk degraded transmission.
