New home - network cabling, inspection required?

[Lumute]

Hi all,

I just bought a new house and I want to install network cabling on some of the rooms. The builder did not let me do it while the house was in construction so I will have to pass the cable through the drywall the hard way.

I have a lot of experience with structured cabling so I am not concerned about the job but I heard that in Ontario, after you do any modification to the electrical wiring, you need to pay an inspection to certify the work is well done and safe... what about network, telephone cable or audio/video cable? does anyone knows if it is necessary for any of those?

thank you!

No as they are all classified as low voltage installations (under 75V to ground).

This is what I do.

Does not require inspection. If it was done during construction, it would still have to maintain building code for vapour barriers, structural, (no big holes), etc..

Hope you got a conduit.
