Hello everyone,

This is only loosely related to Linux, but it is certainly related to home networking in Ontario.

I'm looking for some of the "offical" information about how to wire data wiring in houses legally. I know, every guide says use plenum-rated wire, and I know there are tricks to prevent interference etc. But what I really want is just the authoritative information about what the requirements are in Ontario. Is it really that simple? I'd hate to wire it up only to have somebody need to rip it out in the future as a fire hazard.

Doesn't the regular phone cable and regular ethernet cable already meet residential code? If they're substandard, then aweful lot of houses have to be renovated. :-) -- William Park, Open Geometry Consulting, <opengeometry-FFYn/CNdgSA at public.gmane.org> Linux solution for data management and processing. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
