Reminder that DIY network cabling installation is technically illegal. Not saying it’s not dumb. Just posting so people can make an informed decision about if they want technically illegal wiring in their house (and the potential legal/insurance risks, no matter how unlikely, that come with that).

I didn’t make the rules and I agree they’re dumb. So don’t vote me down.

  It's only illegal if it's fixed. If it's just a patch lead or loose (like an extension cable) then it's legal in your residence.
  
  I didn’t make the rules and I agree they’re dumb
  
  The rules aren't dumb. Well, maybe some are, but there rules generally guarantee safety and performance. E.g. how far overhead a cable must be between structures, how close to a water source an outlet can be, etc, etc.

        It’s ok. We don’t have to agree. On this issue, as someone who makes a living from training and certifying people to connect data cables, you take the Australian government viewpoint that it’s illegal unless certified. I just happen to agree with the rest of the world…

        Otherwise, it could easily not be separated, and therefore not low voltage. Also, 48V still hurts. Even touching the old telephone lines when ringing would sting.

        In my opinion data cabling should be a "competent person" task, with a TAFE or other provider course as one method of demonstrating competence.
        
        Testing and tagging of 230V equipment, replacing appliane leads and plug tops is held to that standard and IMO has the possibility of more dangerous outcomes.

        @OZKap: Testing and tagging doesn't require running cable through walls though.
        
        When I did my training, it was about a ~4 day TAFE course as is + 80hrs for Restricted registration or 360hrs for Open.
        
        Maybe the hours are a bit excessive but the TAFE course itself already felt rushed for the amount of content. You get taught RJ45, Fibre, coaxial and all WHS and regs.

        Yes. If you nail into power then it's almost definitely you who's going to immediately feel the consequences. If you run faulty cable, it might be your family who suffer the consequences months later if the house burns down.
        
        The other reason that people are allowed to make patch cables but not run cables through walls is exactly so that people can hang picture frames.

    Performance should never be required to be "legalised". The only purpose of these laws and certifications is to protect the jobs of the people who own certificates and the people who train the people who "buy" the certificates. Given Australian Standards is now a commercial entity, it's no wonder Australia has the most draconian laws regarding network cabling.

      It's not legalised, it's standardised to ensure you're receiving what you should be.
      
      The only purpose of these laws and certifications is to [insert Dunning-Kruger Effect]
      
      PoE is 48V, and improperly installed RJ45 can easily cross and carry 240V. What happens when a poor telco worker (or anyone else) touches data cable carrying 240V? What happens when improperly terminated jacks in the wall leave exposed copper? What happens when, even if it were legal, you were to install in a way that wasn't insureable?
      
      Just about anything to do with structures require certification because all of it has flow on effects that can be dangerous.

Wouldn't an experienced telco worker know to test cabling before touching it with bare hands? If workers are taught that because an installation is certified it means they are protected from all potential harms - I imagine their days are probably numbered.

        We're not a nanny state because train people before letting them stare into optical fibre.
        
        There's also a huge difference between how the US functions (federalism, unions, etc) and how Australia functions, and economics have come a long way in the 21st Century. Australia faired the GFC much better than the US, and it was a much more Keynesian approach.

    I highly doubt anyone was ever fined for that doosey .
    Edit : I have this crimper and it works OK . Doesn't always cut the excess cable off the plug perfectly . My tester died after 12 months and Klein had zero interest in replacing it . the old take it to your retailer (Sydney Tools) who in turn told me to get in touch with Klein .

None of this stuff was around when I used to cable. Makes my old tester looks hopeless. Network cabling didn't require an electrical qualification either. Nor have I ever seen pass through RJ plugs

Does this tester come with a dongle you can attach to one end of a cat cable and then have the main unit buz when you wave it over the other end?
- 0
- zuccs on 03/06/2026 - 17:57
  
  The tester in this deal doesn't have the probe/wand. It has the dongle you plug in on one end, and the other end into the unit. Then it checks your wiring.
  
  They do have the probes versions here too: https://www.amazon.com.au/stores/KleinTools/page/D5133F14-85…
  
  And the pass-through RJ45's are ridiculously easier. Swap all your tools to it.

Klein stuff is really good gear - I bought the crimper and RJ45 plugs deal posted two years ago @ www.ozbargain.com.au/node/858054 and it’s never let me down.

Unfortunately, as a spare, I also bought a similar looking Zoerax pass thru crimper off AliExpress for under $5 after codes and coins, and it actually makes cleaner cuts whilst terminating the cables every bit as well. If this deal is a bit much for your wallet - just to indulge the seemingly criminal activity of making your own network cables - check out Zoerax.

    It’s a strange design quirk that their otherwise quality crimpers are infamous for not cleanly trimming the 1st and 8th wires. Folding the exposed wires down improves the quality of the cut, but it’s disappointing when a $5 Chinesium knockoff does a better job (at least for however long they last)…

      Fair point. CCA is invariably cheapest for a reason and never suitable for in-wall or POE runs but they work flawlessly for patching. As mentioned, for just a little more more, there’s also pre-terminated POE compliant direct burial and BC cables. Have deleted the reference.

  Don't cheap out, get it from an electrical wholesaler and at least you know it is properly certified. Sparky Direct, MJS etc sell online
