[QUOTE="Pheasant Surprise, post: 6301352, member: 1103"] There is a way to go about doing it properly, for sure. Most folks in domestic setting, will just get their spark to do it. That's OK if the spark is properly trained to install data cabling and can test it properly. Many can't though. In an office/commercial setting, data cabling (or "structured cabling" to use its correct name) is almost always installed by certified installers (rather than sparkies). This is usually because the data guys just do this for a living and are therefore properly geared up for it (data cabling certified test units for example can run to £10K per set) and can also offer manufacturers warranties on the entire "installation". These warranties are sometimes up to 25 years, but there are lots of conditions like the components and cabling must all come from the one manufacturer, it has to be installed by a certified installer and then it has to be fully performance tested (and if its a really big job, witnessed by the structured cabling manufacturer rep at various intervals). I was heavily involved in structured cabling in a former life. [/QUOTE]
