I remember one job where a couple of the techs came and grabbed the Project Manager and myself saying "You have to see this." They take us up to a divisible meeting room and point up. There was a nicely framed opening in the wall above the operable partition through which another tech had run all the cables. What he apparently didn't realize is that the framed opening was a smoke damper that is intended to close and keep the spaces separated during a fire. Oops.

And any cables that do pierce a firewall need to be properly installed with an approved firestop and sealed with fire-rated sealant. Your local codes may vary.

Thanks for that info Jonathan. None of our cable runs went through a firewall so we are good there.
