    Default Bare cat5/6 cables in ceiling?

    Hello. Can standard Ethernet cables be left bare in a ceiling, or do they need to be in conduit? Or do you need special extra special cables (if they exist)?

    Thanks

    They just need to be segregated as per the cabling rules.

    Sounds like someone trying to get into the NVR game from the School of Austech
    If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

    Thanks MTV. So no additional conduit required, just need to ensure it's all separated from stuff as outlined in the cabling guidelines. Cheers.
