Internet

UTP cat.5e/6 to every room: from the router to the TV, PC, workplace. The cable is in a separate corrugation from the power.

TV

Coaxial to the TV points; or IP-TV over the network. In new buildings — 1-2 TV points per room.

Video intercom

From the entrance door to the panel and the indoor monitor: 2 wires + power. The monitor — near the entrance.

Security

Cameras — PoE UTP; sensors — a loop to the control panel; the control panel — in a technical niche with backup.

Crossing rules

Low-current and power — 30 cm apart, crossing at right angles. In one corrugation — never.

Why design

No low-current design — a wall without internet, cables crossed with power, interference. The design fixes the routes once.
