Grateful for a kick in the right direction on the following: a telecomms engineer stated out that an outdoor metal cabinet (earthed & bonded) was an unsuitable enclosure for a network switch and patch panel to be installed into, as it was not IP rated.
As it happened, the size of the cabinet...

Hi All,
Long-time lurker and user as a resource! Ex electrician with limited domestic experience!
Currently routing CAT6's through my 1920's semi from first-floor landing through to the loft, and found a potential route through an old doorway, nicely inside a 150mm dimension from the junction...
So the electrician made a hole in the outside wall to run the cable for the floodlights and in the same hole he threaded through the CAT 6 cable (shielded outdoor cable) for the POE camera.
Is this safe as I always thought you do not run network cable in the same conduit as electrical cables?
I am in the process planning a loft conversion with dorma. Part of doing this will involve ripping my upstairs back to brick. Whilst I am doing this I will install extra sockets, update lighting smokes etc.
I am debating if it's worth installing a wired network to the upstairs and loft. We donr...
Theoretically, is it possible to utilise/connect to the sensor in a heater, even if the heater is not connected to a power source? Presumably, the sensor has some of antenna which would enable it to sense temperature outside of the circuitry. If so, is it possible to network these sensors with...
Looking for network sockets to match domestic outlets, only need 1 or 2 per single back-box size, in white to match MK Logic Plus ideally. I see that MK do the K5864WHI "RJ45 CAT6 Euro Module" to match their grid range which is the obvious choice, except its pretty expensive and not many stock...
Can anyone recommend any good UV protected conduit for runnign network cable externally?
I plan on running around 10 cables (7mm diameter each) from the loft to the 2nd floor and ground floor, but the cables are orange and i'd like to hide them in some pvc black conduit. A lot of the stuff i've...
Bit of background, finished wiring my place a while back and I have run cat6 to numerous places around the house. I've installed hundreds and hundreds of data cables in the past and have a reasonable idea of how it all works, however I could do with some input from more experienced (in setting...
Hi all!
Just wanted to get everyones opinion on the best CAT5 & CAT6 cable which you’ve used on jobs.
I have been using VueNet Cat5e and really like it, not had any problems and is at a decent price.
Let me know what you think :smiley:
Hi all
I have a customer having issues with their Blupont A72 DVR system.
System is plugged in, cameras working and confirmed recording. I'm trying to connect to their broadband so that I can set up mobile access to the camera feed. The system is in the attic and uses plug in network...
moving into a rented house and i always check the condition of the cables on display to make sure there not fraying or worse now when i looked at the main incoming cable i noticed they have renewed the service cable to a new head with a 80amp fuse(labelled) but from the service head there is a...
Is there a safe and easy (but also precise) way to tell if two separate mains sockets are on the same circuit?
I need to know because I'm trying to use existing mains circuitry to create an ethernet network in a communal area of a multistorey block of flats, using Powerline Adapters...
Hi,
Just wondering on thoughts for complying with Reg 528.1 "... a Band I circuit shall not be contained in the same wiring system as a Band II circuit ..."
The current setup has steel trunking running around the walls with conduit coming down from here for network points and plug sockets etc...

Is there a common...
