Raised Floor and Cabling

Been a busy week. Along with my regular workload I have to rearrange a few cables. Above you can see a section of the open office that we are rebuilding.
I have the original floor plan, the floor plan of two weeks ago, and the new floorplan. I need to place a biscuit with a pair of cat-5 cables and the 25-pair connector of an old KTS (key telephone system) cable in each underfloor box for each of the new positions. Like on the left here the box outlined in red needs both cables. There are building walls and have the sticky floor covered with black plastic so as to not make it unsticky with dust and stuff. So I open a panel to the side, find some cables, and push them to the box with my lay-up stick. With a good eye and practice you can place the end of the cable practically in the opening of the box.
