A low-voltage license is required to install electrified door hardware. If the hardware uses ethernet cables, is a low voltage license required in order to make those connections at the door?

Sorry Lori, wrong forum.... That one will be found in the local law that requires licensure.

I just thought one of the experts here might have some insight/experience with it.

Let me rephrase...the electrified hardware in use today requires a low voltage license, including the connections at the hardware. I'm wondering if using ethernet cables which just plug in would have any effect on the licensing requirement.

Not every jurisdiction requires licensed contractors to install low voltage... I think that's what the others were trying to say. If the hardware (which can't specify that a licensed contractor is required, only the AHJ can) is installed in a jurisdiction that requires low voltage to be installed by a licensed installer, then YES, I would agree that even the ethernet installation would require a licensed installer.

Thanks Paul. That's what I was asking...IF a low voltage license is required for traditional 24VDC wiring in a given jurisdiction, would the fact that ethernet is "plug and play" make any difference. Unofficially, of course. I appreciate everyone's input as always.
