Re: Support for vertical Cat5 Cable runs

[Simon Pawson <SimonP1234@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can I just be a party pooper for a second. Please plan some sort of
fire
retardant/insulation otherwise you've just built a blast furnace between
your inter-floor/ceiling gaps, the roof space and that big PC with the
jammed fan that is getting rather hot........

I haven't looked in a while but there was someone knowledgeable on
UK.DIY that talked about intumescent foam/filler etc. He used to discuss
this sort of thing.

Sorry,

Simon
