Use Staples?


Recommended Posts

A large national i used to work for forbid using staple guns

Could be any one of them I reckon then judging by the state of the installs I've seen in the past!-any excuse not to use clips, trunking or any other method of cable containment-unless cable tieing to 230v cables counts.

Nothing wrong with staple guns in the right hands, I've got a coax staple gun as well, very handy.

The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

(Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)

Staple guns for 6 core etc = great

but for coax? a no-no imo. if you compress the coax you affect its transmission properties higher up the spectrum, making balancing of systems hard to impossible in some cases.ok, if its only 10 meters of cable, but above that, not worth the risk.

Im speaking from knowledge of large aerial systems, but the principal holds true in cctv cabling too.
