Uk. Structured cabling / Cat6

[Simlec]

I have have to take the hit on this one! Designer wins

I now have to employ a specialist to come in and supply / wire / terminate & commission the cat6 install! With no extra money f**kin makes me sick

Can you not just get them to commission it for you, after all they will be installing the cabling to the same regs you would (I hope). You can rent the testers required if you think you can interpret the results correctly.

Part of the manufacturers accreditation is the installation of the cables aswell

I would be confident to used the required testers but I would have no "accreditation" to say that I can!!

Hi don't think it will be that much how many cables or outlets are you talking about

u can still do wiring & terminations ect & just get someone to commission best find out what they can issue certs for & use all that kit

200 points at an average of £80 per point - it's enough

Are the 200 points on one job?
if they are hire out cable certifier for 2 or 3 days and check all the points and panels over.
download the test results and print them off.
the standard to install to is cat5 6 or 6a.
the testers have this standard info on them so will pass/ fail depending on the standard that is picked.
ie don't expect to test to cat6 using ca5e cable and cat 6 points.
the designer seems a bit of a **** as he should have been clear what he wants at the tender stage,not after the event.
