This community is for low voltage technicians, business owners, and hobbyists. People come here to talk about all types of low voltage work, including fiber, CAT cable, AV, access control, fire alarms, burglar alarms, PLC, IT, and related topics. It is a working community where people who install, manage, or tinker with low voltage systems share knowledge and help each other.
This community displayed no rules on its public rules page. There are no rule names to quote. The only guidance available is the moderator one-liner that says to keep your posts relevant to low voltage work and be helpful to others. Since nothing is written down, you are operating on trust and good judgment.
A good post here is a useful piece of low voltage knowledge shared with people who actually do this work. If you are a founder with a product or service in this space, lead with something practical. Share a tip about cable termination, a lesson from a tricky access control install, or a question about fire alarm code that shows you understand the trade. The community description lists fiber, CAT, AV, access, fire, burg, PLC, and IT as fair game, so any of those topics are welcome. Make your post read like it was written by someone who belongs in the trade, not by someone who just wants attention from it.
There are no published rules to break, but the moderator guidance is clear enough. Do not post anything irrelevant to low voltage work. Do not be unhelpful. If you drop a promotional post that adds no value to the technicians and business owners here, you are going against the spirit of the community even if no rule explicitly forbids it.

The community has no published rules, so there is no explicit ban on promotion. The moderator guidance is to keep posts relevant to low voltage work and be helpful, so any promotion must be genuinely useful to the community first.
Links are not addressed in any published rule. The safest approach is to share useful content first and only include a link if it directly supports the value of your post.
AI content is not mentioned in any rule or moderator guidance, so there is no clear stance. If you share AI content, make sure it is accurate and genuinely helpful to low voltage professionals.
There are no published rules to quote. The only guidance from the moderator is to keep posts relevant to low voltage work and be helpful to others.
