Electricians day 70 meters 10mm swa to chicken pen

Electricians day move a new DB pulling in a new 3 core 10mm2 swa to a chicken pen and trying the sprite challenge.

To be fair, you both did a lot better than I expected with the Sprite. Not really a challenge, but you could do 'Guess my Fart' where the non farter guesses what the fart will sound like.

That’s a burp 😊

Should always use duct grade (external) cat5/6 👍🏼

[@Cjrelectrical]

I know I definitely didn’t forget to get some

[@therealpro123]

🤣 I know it’s shot me in the foot in the past, degrades over time when the duct get filled with water

5 years time il be retired anyway

Is there any reason not to run CAT6 and power in same conduit ? Some harp on about interference and others are worried about power getting on to data cable in event of damage to insulation. Comments please 😊.

[@Cjrelectrical]

If it were for anything other than a chicken pen then yeah I’d be more inclined to run two ducts. Make an assessment on the job. Likelihood of an swa getting damaged in a duct very unlikely. Chances of a data cable going down very unlikely but we pulled in two and could install another if needed in the future. Have you seen the new EV ultra cables out ? Just a screened cat 6 run mm away from the mains.

@@Cjrelectrical Fair point. Thanks for a quick answer Chris.

But... if the chickens want wifi why are you pulling cat cables 😂

[@Cjrelectrical]

I like this 🤣

Too far from the router so need an access point

​@@spewmisterfor wired access point uplink. Obviously.

I have a feeling the chicken pen is actually a holiday let

Good job boys, never get these jobs in the summer.

Who had to stop on the way home for a visit behind a hedge?

For the next challenge, the loser will have to work all day in just his knickers and work boots.

[@Cjrelectrical]

Only fans?

[@mxslick50]

@@Cjrelectrical Nope, right here. lol

[@denkitney8865]

I'd call that a draw..😂

[@DS1-1a]

Mains cables and data in same duct…. Should be two ducts

[@Cjrelectrical]

Absolutely
