Putting in ducting for low voltage cabling

[drjarmin]

Hello

I am chasing a channel to run my low voltage cabling (either some Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable and maybe the RF cable for the TV).

I am ensuring a gap of at least 50mm from the current high voltage ducts in the wall.

Is there any special consideration I should make where these two ducts cross?

Thanks

mains is low voltage

you mean extra low voltage

If the cables are in ducting that can provide insulation up to the max voltage rating.. I didn't think they needed to be 50mm spaced???

but it is late & I have had a few of theseGuiness DrinkGuiness Drink

It doesn't make any difference really I just want to keep them apart.

If the ducts cross and the cables are at 90

If you have a regs book.. its 528.1 & 528.2

pages 108 & 109 you need to look at

As your cat 5 /cat 6 cables are twisted pair inside i.e.8 core 4 twisted pairs you will be alright try not to have to many sharp bends, same on the RF cable(tv).

Happy chasing
