RE: House wiring - follow up

You also need shielded patch panels and shielded ports, it can get
rather expensive to go down that route. As Phil says, there is no need
for shielding in many environments. I have CCTV being sent down
unshielded CAT5 without any problem.

But CAT5e isn't shielded ... just as CAT5 isn't shielded. As you have
just said, STP *IS* shielded but that's not what you said.

Anyone just coming into this could have gone off to buy a roll of CAT5e
and then think they've been screwed because it wasn't shielded ... plus
of course to take advantage of the shielded CAT5 you have to use
shielded plugs too. There is no need (unless you are in a really
electrically noisy environment) to use shielded CAT5/CAT5e.

My only advice is use CAT5e (shielded) for your CAT5. Where you think
you will need 2 cables run at least 3.=20

<<CAT5e is not shielded.>>=20

It is if you use STP cable rather than yhe UTP kind

What is the easiest way to cut out for the back> boxes ? are there tools
to make life easier and can> they be hired ?The easiest way to cut back
boxes is using a back box cutter (ELECTRICAL BOX SINKER ) from screwfix
(www.screwfix.com/) but it will cost you =A385.00 icl VAT and you will
need to beg, borrow or hire and SDS drill with roto-stop..but let me
asure you after cutting 30 or 40 back boxes by hand (taking upto 20 mins
each) you will wish you had purchased on of these, they do make life
easy!! http://www.screwfix.com/PICTURES/6114.jpg
