Although the distance for parallel installation, from what I remember, should not be less than 20cm for 100Mbps, and not less than 50cm for 1Gbps. And when crossing the wires, they should form a right angle. (Of course my memory is not infallible)
I do not recommend a shielded twisted pair for an apartment, because poorly made grounding or the lack of it will cause the screen to "do" as an antenna and collect additional interference. In addition, all FTP equipment is more expensive and disruptions in home installations are minimal and do not affect the stability of the network (proven in many installations).
Take it easy to arrange the UTP, there will be no problem in the apartment. Just be careful with the continuity of the insulation so as not to damage it.
Hi, I have a similar problem. I would like to hide the cables in a strip against the wall. So the power cord and the twisted pair would go parallel to each other for about 3 meters. In addition, if I succeed, I would also like to hide the HDMI cable there. I would like to ask for advice is it a good idea?
✨ The discussion revolves around the installation of UTP cables under plaster near 230V electrical wires during apartment renovations. Participants suggest that it is generally safe to lay UTP cables alongside electrical installations, provided certain precautions are taken. Recommendations include maintaining a minimum distance of 20cm for 100Mbps and 50cm for 1Gbps when running cables parallel, and ensuring that any crossings occur at right angles. Some users advise against using shielded twisted pair (STP) cables in residential settings due to potential grounding issues that could lead to interference. Overall, the consensus is that with careful installation, there should be no significant problems. Generated by the language model.
