    SPDs in commercial installs.

    Morning all. So, helping to do an install in a commercial premises (going to be building car manifolds and stuff).

    Network Cabling Installs

    Did a "quick" search (that means I was lazy) but are you guys moving forward with structured/network cabling in the work that you do or advising your customers of the benefits of having a central area where network cabling ends as well as the entry point for all feeds?

    "Show us your installs"!

    While up in a loft today, I happened to notice the cabling for a recent addition of a bedroom TV socket. Supposedly added into to the "ring mains" - actually added into the middle of a 32A 6mm2 shower circuit! Ironically I was installing a new smoke alarm circuit.
