    Problems with splitting signal to upstairs

    I don't think there is a (second) digital output (for aerial cable) from a Sky box, just analogue. (I'm using a similar setup and have to put up with a poor picture) There are many similar questions on the Sky forum, here :- Digital output from a sky box sent to an additiona... - Sky Community

    EICR testing

    Make sure that all areas are open or someone is available to unlock / open all areas (Classrooms, ICT suites, Offices etc.) Or better still make sure your contract allows for you to charge for the waiting time or return trip to finish the job when (not if!) you can't access every circuit on...

    running more than one thermostat off one zone valve

    Which suggests they are still cold and need the heat on, perhaps it's a case of looking into the insulation of the rest of the building?

    Computer Data Recovery

    Don't think "system restore" recovers files , it restores just the "registry" settings, but as mentioned above, using the "recycle bin" should (as long has that hasn't been emptied) - I'm assuming it's a Windows operating system?

    Data install

    Yes. (N.B. satellites are sometimes used in locations where the broadband bandwidth is very low, the router sends the data requests via the "normal" upstream route -over the telephone line - the downstream data comes from the satellite to the dish)

    Data install

    Think of it as "star" with the network switch the centre and the patch leads and patch panel connecting the "legs" to the centre. The data points are on the end of the "legs". All devices (whether a computer, the router or even the satellite dish - if this being used to receive data) connect...

    PIR & sky dish

    Unlikely, as the Sky dish is designed to receive very low signals, it could block the PIR picking up anything in the line of site of the PIR (as in behind the dish). What's happening? PIR activating when shouldn't or not activating when should? How are they mounted in relation to each other?

    ethernet lengh

    The Cat 5E standard is a maximum of 100 mtrs. between devices (computer / switch / hub / router etc.) based on 90 mtrs. of solid core cable and 10 mtrs. of multi-core (i.e. the patch leads at each end). Plenty of length for the average house. Take care to avoid tight bends or crushing the...

    virgin media super hub or network switch

    Hi, I think you'll find that the ports of the "Virgin Media Super Hub" are switched ports (check the Virgin site for confirmation). All the data traffic (destined for the Internet) from all your devices will be going through the built in router / firewall. The only reason to buy a switch would...

    Data & comms questions

    For the data, if the cable length to the new location and dado trunking is less than the existing cable you could leave the cable connected to the path panel and just pull back and re-route the "loose end". If it's longer you'll need to replace (the standards for CAT5e do allow for one...

    Data & comms questions

    Not quite as I pictured it, not a full structured cabling system but using data cabling for the phone lines at the "user" end. What's at other end of the cables used for the phones? (in the cabinet) Is everything on a patch panel or just the data with the telephone cable connected to...

    Data & comms questions

    It looks like the telephone is running over data cabling (it's known as "structured" cabling) wiring all the points in the same cable gives you the flexibility to use a computer or phone in any location that has a point. The telephone system will (probably - if I have right picture in my head!)...

    Data & comms questions

    No, for normal installations the most common cable is the Cat5E (E for Enhanced) Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP); this is solid core, and the twists deal with "normal" interference. Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)- used where there is severe interference - has a foil covering an needs different...

    Data & comms questions

    I agree with the other posts that recommend using sockets as the termination to your Cat5E (solid core) cable and pre made patch leads (with boots). It's good for up to a Gbit/s. Much too fiddly to fit your own plugs to the stranded patch cable (if your using solid core for the patch leads - or...
