Hi,
Im new to this forum. I just took the alarm license class and the instructor said as of February 2018 its required to have your NY State Alarm License to run any low voltage cables. This now includes all networking cables for computer networks, speaker cables, and voice. So from what understand is computer guys have to get their alarm license to run cat5e/cat6 cables. Below is the link to the proposed law. But my interpretation after reading 195.1(g) is that its talking about network cables for the operation of security, video, and alarm detection. Can anyone here confirm this is the new law and can point me to the code that shows this is for all low votage cables under any circumstance.
(g) Network- A network, also referred to as a computer network, consists of two or more devices that are linked together through any means, including but not limited to, ethernet, wifi, or serial bus, so that they can communicate with each other and thereby exchange commands and share data that may operate hardware and utilize other resources for the operation of a security, video, access and alarm detection and/or notification system.
