Getting my wires crossed...

[cwr]

Hi folks

Currently chasing walls and wondering about future proofing.

In one room we have the ring main in the floor insulation and tracked up to the sockets. No probs with these.

Also installing ethernet and co-axial, and wondering wouldn't it be good to track them horizontally around the room at this stage as really no idea where we'll need them in the future. Problem is that the sills of the windows are low, about 450mm, so the horizontal track would have to cross over the ring main just under the sockets. 

Gut feel says this isn't a very good idea, and probably not easily done esp bearing in mind max tracking depths on a 100mm block wall. Or is there a good way to do this?

Bring the data and sat cable( coax is shit- very lossy cable) down from the ceiling down, and power from the ground floor up, avoiding each other.

 

or just bring vertical chases up at each location and clip the cables under the floor to suit.
