    Running CAT6 cables...

    You sure that you need Cat6, its easily damaged and you need to keep the bend radius down. One advantage of Cat6 is it can be use as HDMI.

    A new jokes thread for your amusement.

    Two builders go into the pub after a hard day's work. They're sat drinking for a while when a very smartly dressed man walks in and orders a drink. The two began to speculate about what the man did for a living. "I'll bet he's an accountant." said the first builder. "Looks more like a...

    Hard wired internet in house to replace wifi

    Er, do you mean i can wire directly from the back of the master socket to another point and so not need to plugin a dsl cable ? The supply into my house is only using two cores (one pair) of a telephone cable, so this is the only pair I need to extend the master socket ?

    Other electrician replaced RCBO with MCB

    Off the top of me head I was supposing that if the cable had earthed metallic protection then it didnt need rcd protection, unless it was feeding a socket (any type) then in that case it would.

    Other electrician replaced RCBO with MCB

    Is all the cabling in the circuit of SWA ? If not then the circuit would need rcd. What kind of damage is evident, to the equipment or the cabling. Are external CW glands being used for the armoured ??
