The problem is it varies by locality. Generally speaking you don't need to get a permit to do low voltage work such as alarms, doorbells, network and audio/video. You just need to make sure that the cables are rated class-2 or class-3 for in wall use, or plenum rated cable for use in heating ducts or drop ceilings as Pat indicated. -- jmpage2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71301 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
