Re: What holes to make in the wall whilst I'm in the mood...

[matthew@xxxxxxx]

I asked a while back about the possibility of putting Cat5e in the
same conduit as the light switch and I was advised it was not a good
thing to do. Therefore I was going to chase some more conduit into
the wall and put another single box next to the light switch with a
couple of runs of Cat5e in it.

If I run Cat5e and 2.5mm twin and earth to the window how/where
should I terminate it?

FYI I now have 7 double sockets in the room, plus a double clipsal
plate with 4 cat5e's and two coaxes so I think thats probably going
to be enough.

Also (fortunately) I don't have a SWMBO so I can do what the hell I
like!!!
