My recommendations are to ensure you dont pass CAT5 with mains through same
holes - cross at 90degrees where necessary.

Other than that you should be ok.

If you drill joists make sure you dont drill to close to top or bottom so
you dont spike the cable with nails etc.

Subject: [ukha_d] Cat5 related regulations


Are there any regulations that I need to be wary of when laying cat5? At
last count, I'm planning on 3km with 138 cat5 cables terminated in node
zero. (This does seem like an unreasonably high number though!)

I'm thinking of both electrical regulations (not sure if they can apply to
cat5 given its limited power capacity) and fire regulations in particular.

NZ is going to be a loft area in my converted bungalow - most of the first
floor is living space, but there's an end part off my en-suite bathroom.
This will have floor boards, but currently no plans for insulating it. (I'm
a little concerned it may be too hot in summer for all the electronics I
don't yet own :-( so insulation may have to be added later)

Thanks,
Paul
