Fire Supports on Cat5 cables EICR

Hope im in the right section.


Doing an EICR, and the install has a false ceiling which is a drop out tile from the grid. Orginal install very good with Trunking and tube, all on hangers and fixed with anchors to the slab. So no problems there.

Then Mr IT guy, has lashed cat5 cables across the ceiling, just laying on the ceiling grid. So with 18th edition, and with cat5 being POE, as an inspector Im thinking about coding as a C3, as under collaspe, these cables would drop to floor. Or should I just leave alone as maybe not part of the electrical system?


Thanks

  • Regardless of PoE, the installation of ICT cables has to comply with BS 7671, even if they are just data, and even if they are fibre. BS 6701 says so as well as BS 7671.
