What's new in cabling?

I'm about to install new LAN cabling (no run longer than 75 ft) in a home
and ask whether anything interesting is happening in LAN speeds or PoE
which should be considered and which might affect my specifications of
cable type (Cat-5?), wiring (EIA/TIA 568B?) or terminations (USOC RJ-45?).

Unless your sticking an AP in the roof why PoE?
You could consider Cat 6 as opposed to 5e

The hope for using webcams, switches, hubs etc (maybe even printers or
laptops one day?) without yet another power socket used for each.

I hadn't see any benefit with my shortish cable runs but your first cite
makes me think that is indeed a more logical choice. Thanks.

Is a PoE installation subject to Part P of the Bldg's Reg's or is this a
grey area?

Certainly not in that part of the world where my cables will be pulled :-)

But if you want an informed UK answer, I suggest you pose that question in
uk.d-i-y where knowledgeable folks will be able to comment.

Nope. It's classed as SELV, i.e. <50V so doesn't apply as Part P
covers LV which is >50V.

Part P is a grey area full stop. (Well, Part P is more of a total fuck
up really).

I've been in the trade for 10 years and it doesn't come much clearer.
