I have just spent the day at my parent's place adding new TV, new Sky cable and various Cat 6 cables (just in case they are needed).
With the first hit of the hammer and bolster I went straight through the downstairs ring circuit cable.........

The kitty pics I emailed you will cheer you up.
Never mind, you can get wrecked tomorrow (?)
I wish.
Piccies to follow soon.
I took the oven apart to clean it properly.
I thought the first time it went flash-bang and tripped the MCB was because it was still wet, so left it to dry for longer.
It was only after the second time it went flash-bang and tripped the MCB that I observed that whilst I'd bolted the case cooling fan back on I hadn't put the wires back and the loose wires were lying on the case and shorting to earth.
At least it proves I've got a nice low Zs

Do you have a nice melted bit on the bolster?
I do on my wirecutters :-)

Well TBH my Dad has a nice melted bit on his bolster.
My bolster is at the bottom of his fish pond.

You should get a job as a water deviner, there is obviously a talent to find hidden things. Brian
I changed the headlight bulb on my car. Put it back together, and this time none of the lights would work. OMG, what have I done!
Forgot to put the connector back. Duh! And this is a job I've done a few times.
Now that's one of things I love about Adam's posts...
You can never predict what he is going to say next!
ok I will bite. Why is your bolster at the bottom of his fish pond?
I prefer to let my imagination run riot. There are so many possibilities. :)

I bet you persuaded them the have such an installation and to have the wires buried.
Bloody stupid f***ing apprentices, you can't even trust them with a hammer and bolster now!
I did find their original 1968 TV point!
The cable ran though that back box.
So the TV is now back where it was meant to be back in 1968.
Leave it to the professionals. :-)
How did you meet the minimum CAT6 radius requirement in a domestic back box ?.
Do they need Gigabit ethernet, given that typical infinity FTTC broadband will only be about 30Mbps ?.
The Cat 6 is coiled up in a 47mm deep back boxes. I needed 47mm for the sat tv modules.
My parents do not need it ATM. They might do.
I would have used cat 5, but cat 6 was all that I could find on the van.
And the bend radius is not that big a deal, the electrons will either go around the bend or they will not.
Chances are they will.
Presumably if the bend radius is too small there's a danger you get a local impedance change causing reflections and signal loss. How significant that is or could be I don't know, but presumably one could measure it.
While I was at SLAC, and during the thinnet era, now mercifully past, we had to smack some physicists because they'd (1) added a segment of their own 50 ohm cable to the end of the segment, which not only took it well over the maximum length, but also ruined the collision detection because they used very thin cable, (2) disconnected T connectors which took the segment to the back of their workstation and replaced them with a length of cable. This latter by some impedance magic I never looked into caused a 25 ohm load to be presented at the w/s rather than 50 ohm, even though the cable they used was 50 ohm.
Cue 90% packet loss.
I heard it's more to do with maintaining the twist distances in the pairs.
they are the same thing
