FIRST, get a copy of the Carlon Structured Cable Management brochure. I
picked one up to today from my local electronics/network cabling
supplier/distributor in Chicago area.
GO TO web site: http://www.carlon.com
Carlon makes low voltage brackets as well as Resi-Gard flexible raceway
and fittings - from 3/4" diameter up to 2" diameter. Carlon has specific
brackets for both new construction and rework/remodel installations.
Electrical code does require low voltage divider plates IF you co-locate
the low voltage and home AC power boxes. Ethernet cabling and AC power
should NOT occupy the same stud space (unless one is in condiuit)
Depending upon you home --- you can get a flush structure cable panel box
or a sheet of 2' x 4' plywood firmly attached to a wall in an unfinished
area.
