Personally if you are going above ground why noy just string to
catineries, one for power and one for data. Make sure that the power cable
is external grade (like screwfixes 3 core FROST CABLE which is frost and UV
protected , do not run normal T&E as the sheathing is not UV protected
and will degrade. As for the CAT5 again most of this stuff is not external
grade and will degrade. You can get external grade CAT5 cable but it is
quite expensive. Better to run several strands inside some commercial
hosepipe (the yellow or black stuff, not the green transparent stuff) and
clip this to the catinery. Alternatively if you are going underground i
would run 2 lots of 2 1/2 inch waste pipe (with the joints cement welded)
one for power and one for Data with a pulling tape left permanantly
installed in both incase you need to pull cables in future.

Hi
all
I have a need to run power and Cat 5 to a speperate garage. I
was intending
to run this underground but then thought of what may be
an easier method but
I am not sure it is safe.
Idea is to build
a hollow beam out of wood...say 4 lengths of 4x1 giving a
6x4
beam...with a 4x2 hollow down the centre and to either run power
down
one side , data down the other either with or without some kind
of
seperator.
Questions are first would this be safe (beam would
be at 8ft level)assuming
it is all properly weather protected. Second
would the seperation between
cat 5 and the power be enough or would I
need to bulid in some kind of
shielding?
thanks in
advance
Mick
