    I’d be careful giving broad advice like this.

    In my country (Australia) it’s illegal to run cabling yourself unless you’re a registered cabler.

        I seem to remember that yes, it was even for low voltage data cabling.

        Not that I would imagine anyone’s enforcing it strongly

            Would they be able to prove it wasn’t installed by a licensed contractor? Ok, if you have it installed legally then you’ll likely have an invoice/receipt, but if you lose it that doesn’t mean the cable is illegal. So if you did it yourself, how would they know it’s not just a case of a missing invoice?

              I’m not saying it would go anywhere, but with how scummy insurance companies are they might try it. Still, it’s a bullshit law
