I have a parking garage project where we will be installing cameras at the end of each row to provide general garage coverage. The walls and ceiling are concrete, and the ceilings on many levels are covered with fiberglass insulation blankets. The blankets are about 10" inches thick and appear to be fastened to the ceilings with wires attached to the ceiling using powder-actuated fasteners.
The owner doesn't want to install conduit, but instead wants to install open Cat 5 cabling to each camera.
A couple of questions for my installer friends:
- What techniques would you use to fasten the Cat 5 cabling to the ceiling?
- Approximately how much labor would you estimate to run the cabling using these techniques? (per camera, per 100', etc.)
I would appreciate any input you can provide. Thanks.
