Yes, I know and you're right but it's only a short path (about 2 meters), and it's the only way I found to get through the cable from a room to another. Anyway

Yes, I know and you're right but it's only a short path (about 2 meters), and it's the only way I found to get through the cable from a room to another. Anyway I haven't terminated the cable with the wall jack, the cable is going out of the wall "intact", this should be a bit safer.

Sounds like a good excuse to run a bit of fiber

Sure, and as said you won't likely have any issue, and maybe - without knowing - you actually used a U0=400V cable, the norm is 2010 or so if I recall correctly, so I believe that most Cat 6 cables in commerce are nowadays certified for that use.

  Just checked, and I see only EIA/TIA 568B.2 ISO/IEC 11801 EN501

You might want to check if that out of code solution could invalidate your homeowners insurance policy. It sure can in the US.

  Especially now that it's publicly available on the internet. And yes, the fire investigators for home insurance DO check things like that.

  I've seen this claim a lot, but what is the actual legal basis for it? Contractual language in specific policies? Assorted state laws? Homeowners insurance generally covers negligence by the owner (otherwise you'd be out of luck for many types of events). A homeowner modifying wiring in a way that causes a problem would seem to fall squarely into this category.

    Legal basis? Ask a lawyer, but I suspect it's buried in contract law. Homeowners insurance generally covers negligence by the owner Does it? I just know several people who have done their own 'renovations' that have had insurance claims turned down (even after arbitration) because they didn't have a licenses contractor do the work. People who insisted they knew better than anyone else. Typical. So rewire at your own risk, I guess.
