Hi all
I am trying to find definitive information on the topic of wiring a house
for a 100baseT network. I have concerns about the effects of the
electromagnetic field around standard house electrical wiring affecting my
network cabling.
My current understanding is that you want to keep the cat5 12 or more
inches away from the electrical wiring, and if you have to cross wires, do
it at 90 degrees (rigth angles)
What I don't know is how badly can this effect the wiring. Do the problems
compound as the number of crosses or close contact with electrical wiring
increases? How close can they go without serious efects.
I'm having cat5 run through my house. I get to go in tomorrow and do some
additional wiring, and make sure they haven't screwed it up. I just want
to make sure I'm not being too anal about this, or even that I am being to
anal (god forbid :)) I really want this done right, and I'm a bit
concerned at this point because the guys running the wire don't seem to
really understand, and certainly don't care as much as I do.
Can anyone point me to some docs on this topic.
thanks
charles
