Disclaimers
The values listed herein are:
(a) provided as estimates only
(b) based on data supplied by customer, including environmental conditions the cable may be installed in
(c) assume proper installation, termination, and maintenance by customer within prescribed guidelines and
good commercial practices.
Customer agrees and acknowledges that it is responsible for the safe and proper installation, termination, and maintenance
of products purchased from Corning Cable Systems in accordance with all applicable laws, standards, and specifications.

Customer further represents that it possesses the knowledge, expertise, and experience to properly and safely install,
