With roughly 1957 residents per square kilometre, Ferntree Gully homes have accessible roof space, which makes running Cat6 to several rooms a single clean job. Sitting at about 150 metres, Ferntree Gully has homes where the roof space above the upper level is the natural cabling route.
Ferntree Gully is about 30 kilometres from the CBD, where newer homes often have cabling already installed but terminated poorly or left unpatched. For Ferntree Gully, Knox has no role in structured cabling. The wiring rules and the relevant standard govern it.

Some background on the place: The area became more accessible to visitors with the arrival of a railway line extension from Ringwood, completed in 1889. Build era decides whether there is a usable roof space, which is the difference between a neat job and a compromise.

Ferntree Gully is around 2.7 kilometres south of our workshop in Boronia, close enough that the van is stocked for the job before it leaves. Something else that shows up in the housing here: Officially opened on 17 October 1959 as the Mountain Gate Estate, it was marketed as the "town of a thousand homes" incorporating a modern car-oriented shopping centre and public parkland.
