Important Safety Information
To avoid contact with electrical current:
n Never install electrical wiring during an electrical storm.
n Never install an Ethernet connection in wet locations unless that connector is
specifically designed for wet locations.
n Use caution when installing or modifying lines.
n Use a screwdriver and other tools with insulated handles.
n Wear safety glasses or goggles.
n Do not place Ethernet wiring or connections in any conduit, outlet or junction box
containing electrical wiring.
n Installation of inside wire may bring you close to electrical wire, conduit, terminals
and other electrical facilities. Extreme caution must be used to avoid electrical
shock from such facilities. Avoid contact with all such facilities.
n Ethernet wiring must be at least 6 feet from bare power wiring or lightning rods and
associated wires, and at least 6 inches from other wire (antenna wires, doorbell
wires, wires from transformers to neon signs), steam or hot water pipes, and
heating ducts.
n Do not place an Ethernet connection where it would allow a person to use an
Ethernet device while in a bathtub, shower, swimming pool, or similar hazardous
location.
n Protectors and grounding wire placed by the service provider must not be
connected to, removed, or modified by the customer.
n Do not touch uninsulated Ethernet wiring if lightning is likely!
n External Wiring: Any external communications wiring installed needs to be
constructed to all relevant electrical codes. In the United States this is the National
Electrical Code Article 800. Contact a licensed electrician for details.
