Hi rich

Is it standard tv cable, i.e. coax from an aerial, or is it satellite or cable tv. Is the signal being amplied and how many points are you feeding.

Sorry to be a pain but there can be different solutions depending on what is actually being done with the tv cable.

No accidents today?

mark,
band one and band two cables ,further info is available in the old osg page 64.
but unless insulated to the highest voltage present they must be seperated by an insulating or earted partition .therefore earthed metal trunking or plastic .no mention of seperation distance otherwise

nice one cheers wayne, it'll look so much better runnung along side the trunking ive already put up!
Tony, i think you may of miss read an earlier post, this other trunking is lv (did you see this and thought it mean tv?) there will prob be a couple of coax's running in the low voltage trunking, for some cctv cameras, maybe 3 max. the whole job seems to be make it up as you go along (bit annoying really, trying to allow for the unseen!)

there's gonna be a couple of plasme tv's dotted about for advertising as well, whilst trying to be sensible im toying with the idea of running the signal cables for these tv's in cat5 as there are devices that can transmit HD over ethernet. gonna run these in the LV trunking as well back to the office.

also will be incoming BT and incoming broadband cables, again these will prob be in cat5.

standard 4 pair security cable also in the trunking for theivin scum alarm.

fp200 running in lv trunking picking up call point, detector and sounder aswell.

thats it for now i think! must say im chuffed to bits i can run all this in trunking next to me mains power trunking, will post some more pics 2moro.

ps. eye is better now, after the ground 1 leyer of me cornea away! need to always bag ya eyes up before slapping it up! lol

hi tony, i was there monday and gonna be there tomorrow as well. its a bit steady at the minute. just waiting for the mezanine floor to go in then i can start lashing loads a cables in. ill post some pics of the back rooms tommorow as well, where ive got some plastic trunking running around abit.

hi all gonna get some more pics up asap, got another quick question. (cant be bothered readin books to clarify!!)

ive got 3 conduits (plastic) running up the walls and going across the ceiling to the outlets for the Klix fittings. i was thinking about running these in singles as if anything happens later on they could be replaced easier than trying to drag a T & E out. if i did them in singles would it be ok to terminate t & e into singles inside a conduit through box (in connector blocks)? and secondly do they need to be double insulated singles or can i use single insulated singles.

she ses singles on the singles sea shore
