[plug] This weekend re. PLUG cabling and server

[Kevin Shackleton]

Pluggers,

I don't know what the deal is at Space Cubed with assistance, but installed
data cabling needs to be done or at least supervised by a licensed cabler.
So that proper separation from mains is observed, etc.  Is there a plan to
have a licensed cabler on site?

I have a cabling licence, but at this point I'm not sure if I'll be
available on 6 Oct.  I don't have a certifying tool on hand, but it would
be a good idea for someone to borrow one if they can.

If you're going across some ceiling space you'll almost certainly want to
hang the wires from a catenary of galv steel wire, with cable ties every 50
cm, so you're not laying the data cables on top of the fluoro power cables.

Cheers,

Kevin.
