Re: Burying cables in wall - protection against nails etc.

message from romic on 11 May 2004
The most simplest new location (from upstairs access) is down an 18 inch
wide wall between two doors. However, because of the narrowness of this
and the amount of cables, I will need to run cables for most of the six
inches at either side of it, leaving a six inch gap in the middle. Because
the wall is narrow, I'm concerned that at some time in the future there is
more chance of a nail/screw going into the wall within the six inch
margin. If I could run the cable in metal conduit for the drop, I wouldn't
be bothered. However, I don't want to run the risk of future damage -
possibly even done by myself without thinking!
