    PoE cable routing in Australian homes

    Yeah agree, drip loop on its own won't hold up in a proper southerly buster — needs a sealed IP67 box or self-amalgamating tape over the joint to do the job properly. Still a handy tip for the DIY crowd though, costs nothing to chuck in an extra bend as a backup.
