Here's the...
I am not a electrician and I need some help. I would imagine this should be an easy one for you guys. I am trying to hook up an indoor air filter that hangs from the ceiling. I cannot find a schematic for connecting to a power source. It is a four wire system. I am not sure if it is a one speed...
Hi there,

Looking online I've not really found much regarding installing such devices into the EU style outlets...
As the title suggests I have been tasked with finding something big and safe enough to hold a 5core 70mm cable with crimped lugs, it needs to be ip rated. The company are asking for it as the equipment they are connecting will need to be disconnected now and again. I was thinking maybe there...

Hello.
I'm a DIY enthusiast and I made some home network installations, mainly for security cameras. For more than 2 years, I've been using this CCA utp cable. This one is clearly listed as CCA. At the time, I didn't pay attention to how it was made.
A few weeks ago, I ran out of cable, so I...
