If this is a problem, how about locking a thread after a certain number of months? New threaders could reference the old thread in the new one, if necessary.

From my understanding you have to be licenced to run network cable as of recently but with the huge building boom its very difficult to enforce or mabey it is not enforced. I am very busy doing alot of cable installation ect and do not have my licence as well as my supervisor. I think my supervisor would need to get his but you are required to take classes here and then pass a test to obtain one. If anyone here is from BC perhaps you can clear this up? The LV licence has not prevent us from doing a good quality service for some of our bigger clients.
My only gripe that I have is that no one I mean almost no one uses raceways or J-hooks to create a common path for the cables to be layed.
I like neetness it just looks like crap when a tech pulls down ceiling tiles and all the wiring is spread out in every direction and looks like a spiders web.
I imagine two of the key factors in why a licence is needed is to make sure the cable is not next to any high electrical cabeling and not to many are stacked in one place? I keep my cable away from anything that posses a electrical path from HT lines.

I haven't done any house cabling since about a week after that post. Primarily for 4 reasons: 1) I don't feel like working for an EC for 3 years just to qualify to sit for the test; 2) My time is worth more when spent configuring asterisk and cleaning up after their in-house IT staff; 3) I know enough qualified people who can use the work more then I can and therefore would rather help them help me; 4) I'm fat, I hate hanging from the top of ladders, and it's freakin' HOT in them there overheads! But, to add a relevant reply, it still depends on your area. The state of Florida delegates authority to the county, city, etc. This means that if your county doesn't require the license, and the city doesn't require the license it's an open market for all the cable ninjas. The morale of the story here: Go find your local friendly building inspector and ask him. If anyone should know about licensing requirements it would be him. Pinellas county does require a license (I had made an incorrect interpretation of some of their county/city statues in the earlier posts). Some counties and cities in southwest Florida don't. Some area's in the panhandle don't. I still get about one call a week from various people asking me if I know if city X in county Y requires it. All I can tell them it to call the city and county's perspective organizations and see. Even then, you're lucky if the person who issues the licenses even knows what you are talking about. ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)

In the Peoples Socialist Republic of New Jersey you are supposed to get a Low Voltage Licence from the state electrical board, there is No test of experence or compitence just send the forms in with the $$$$ and they send you the Licence. In the Last 5 yrs I have only been asked once by a building owner to show this Low voltage licence. What a Joke.........
