I've just read another thread about co ax cable being run side by side with electrics. I ran co-ax CT 100 cable through the same hole in the joists as the electrics. Have I got to re-run the cables before the plasterer comes in?
Make up your own mind about that.
I ran close to 25 metres of co-ax around my bedroom, past various mains cables, around my sisters bedroom, again past various mains cables, and through the floor. It then plugs into the low-grade white extension co-ax which previously fed the kitchen telly with a direct aerial feed, and is now coiled up under the boards. This then goes through the ceiling, past the FCU for the air con, going with the air con cable in the same conduit. This cable runs from the sky box in my bedroom, to the sky link in the kitchen. I used the push-fit p**s poor connectors supplied with the sky link. The picture is crystal clear on the kitchen telly. Make up your own mind about that.
BS7671 specifies distances for different voltage bands. This is not to ensure that you get a good picture (why would BS7671 have any concerns or ruling with that?), it is to ensure no voltages manage to couple across to the coax through induction.
