Howdy folks.
I am converting a closet in one of my spare bedrooms into an Audio/Video/Network distribution closet. My plan is to run low voltage wiring to this closet myself. This includes CAT5e and RG6 cables. The closet will contain my DSL modem, network switch, PVR, File server and future A/V distribution equipment, etc. Do I need a building permit and inspection for low voltage wiring of this type?
To support the A/V and network equipment, I will need to have a new outlet installed in the closet. If I was to run the outlet myself (by branching off an available outlet), would I need a permit and inspection? What about if I hire an electrician to do the work?
I live in Dallas, Texas for those familiar with Dallas code. Thanks!
