Ethernet cables in metal portioned walls

Stuart Urban

What are people's thoughts on achieving compliance with the below when installing ethernet/structured wiring cables in metal partitioned walls? 

Is ethernet SELV or PELV? If it is can we assume that everything that the structured wiring is used for will be SELV or PELV.

    I guess the 'or equivalent' could be debated until the cows come home

    Indeed - I guess my thinking has been influenced by the fact it used to say "H07RN-F or H05VV-F" (back in the 16rh Ed days) - and someone somewhere decided that H05VV-F should be deleted. If the committee really did think they were equivalent when why go to the bother of deleting it? Besides I don't think I'd feel comfortable standing in the dock vs someone like our JP trying to claim that a 500V rated cables was equivalent to a 700V rated one. One that didn't quite have a harmonised  approval but was physically identical to a H07RN-F I'd be happier with.
