Data and home automation cabling

Cabling for home automation, data and A/V commenced on Wednesday.  The team worked really well running cables.  The preparation we spent over Christmas/New Year period installing wall plates (with labels for each cable), catenary system between key cable paths, noggins/studs and conduits for cable segregation and mounting plates also helped make the process progress smoothly.  A big thanks to Ian as well for the detailed diagrams.

Work completed involved:

  • C-Bus cabling (pink cables)
  • A/V cabling (speakers, HDMI, RCA, antenna)
  • Ethernet cabling
  • Automation and security cabling
