Re: CAT 5 for new-build --- how many per room?

["Dr John Tankard" <jtankard@xxxxxxx>]

I have used CT125 and not had any problems with routing, however I have
used
full depth 'cooker boxes' for every box in the house, its so much easier
all
round. If you have not used deep boxes you can get angled outlet which
means
you dont have to bend the cable.

Remember the number of the after the CT is the cable inner size ie CT100 is
1mm and CT125 is only 1.25mm there is not such a difference in its use and
handle. On the overall dia the difference is CT100 6.65mm CT125 7.8mm CT165
10.1mm

Re which cable I was told the opposite when I researched it, CT125 is very
low loss, internally the broadcasters use CT167 which is even better or
Broadcast cable which is CT125 with a moisture barrier. The price
difference
is about 20% more for CT125 over CT100 but it performs about 30 - 40 %
better. I agree that with digital the loss is less of an issue but I would
prefer to have extra bandwidth available.

The same is true for the CAT5, in most cases you dont need it.
