Due to Chorus and Vodafone not being able to organise a pissup in a brewry im at the position where i need to send a cat6 cable from the ONT in the properties main house to a self contained attached flat. The onyl way to do this is through the plaster fire proof wall. This isnt something that cant be done considering power and sat dish COAX does this but what im after is all the seperation requirements between penetrations and what sealant needs to be used.

 

 

 

Any help would be awesome.

Hi, the cat6 can go through the same penetration as the RG6, and these cables need to be seperated by 50mm of free space or a solid barrier from the power, however as the plaster wall constitues a solid barrier if say 10mm was between the power and telco cables, then that would constitute a suitable barrier.

 

In reality though, carefully cut around/next to the RG6 to expand the hole size, push the Cat6 through the enlarged hole and use a product like below to seal it all up again.
