Re: Cable Fishing kit?! Reccomendations....cheap of course!

Hi Noel,=20

I hope it is ok to have CAT5 in a cavity! I have put in much of my
cale in the small cavity between the pasterboard and internal wall. My
house has plastboard stuck to dabs of adhesive, this leaves a nice
10mm gap to hide signal cables, I would not put mains in that way as
that needs some additional protection.

Upstairs my house has partition walls that are made of 2 sheets of
pasterboard with a paper honeycombe structure in the middle. Upstairs
I have pushed a plastic conduit pipe down from the loft into the gap
between the two sheets of plaster.

I use some fibreglass fishing rods I got from Screwfix, they do the
job very well.=20

The traditional cavity I have between the internal and external walls
is filled with insulation so getting something through  that would be
hard work.=20

Cheers
Ian=20
