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 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

Well TBH my Dad has a nice melted bit on his bolster.

My bolster is at the bottom of his fish pond.

He was already wrecked, that's why he went straight thru the
downstairs ring circuit cable with the first hit of the hammer.

You should get a job as a water deviner, there is obviously a talent to

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.

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.

When I did some pond/outdoor electric modifications a few weeks ago
(involving the lifting of some stone flags around the pond) it just fell
into the pond.

Probably because some **** left it resting on the edge of the pond....

There is also a PZ2 screwdriver down there that I lost about 10 years ago.

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.

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.


I heard it's more to do with maintaining the twist distances in the pairs.

I'd guess that because it didn't float.
