A free printable cable run record sheet — every containment run and cable pulled, from where to where, type and size, and whether it was tested and labelled.
2 pages. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.
Print it and write on it
Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Produce as-built information for the certificate, the client and the next person to open the ceiling, instead of reconstructing it from memory.
Electricians and data installers on fit-outs, and site supervisors who have to hand over as-built records.
2 pages, in this order:
Printed under the title: Every cable pulled on a job and the containment it runs in: from where to where, what it is, how it is supported, and whether it was terminated, tested and labelled before you left.
Your design, recorded as built. Cable sizes, support spacing, bend radii and fire-stopping detail come from your design, the cable maker's data and the rules where you work. Write what was installed; the columns are blanks, not limits.
Write-on lines: Site · Area / floor · Date · Installed by · Drawing / design ref · Client / main contractor · Labelling scheme
Table, 11 rows: Ref · Type · Route · Fixing / support · Fire-stopped · Earthed · Done
Table, 14 rows: Run · From · To · Cable type · Size / cores · In · Length · Term. · Tested · Label
Ruled lines: Deviations from the drawing, access left open, anything for the client
Signature strip: Installed by · Checked by · Date
Because results belong on the test certificate your scheme issues, in its own format. This sheet says the cable exists, where it goes and that it was tested; the certificate says what the test found.
In your design and the cable maker's data, not on this sheet. Write what you installed; the columns are blanks to be filled, not limits to be met.
Leave a legible schedule in the lid of the board so the next person to open it knows what every way does without tracing cables.
Be able to explain, months later, where each camera points, what was masked and who was given access — to the customer, a neighbour or anyone who asks.
Give the customer, the monitoring centre and whoever services the system next a single page that says exactly what is fitted and where.
Capture a job while you are still standing in it: what was asked for, what was done, what went into it and how long it took.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
