CHAPTER 5
Routing the cable into the property
5.1 General guidelines on cable routing
• Where possible, route the cables inside the wall/ roof spaces
• THINK where the cables are going to go! Avoid air ducts, water and
gas pipes.
• Try to use existing entries into your home to avoid having to drill
holes.
• Try to make the cable entry to the computer connections as close to
the your PC as possible, using the shortest cable possible.
• Where wires have to be routed outside of the building, make sure that
they are supported with cable clips at 18 to 24 inch intervals and are
not unsightly. Make sure that there is a “drip loop” at the point of
entry to prevent water ingress into the property. Seal any drilled holes
using silicone sealant.
