RE: A couple of quick cabling questions

CW1308 is the spec for Telephone cable.

It is NOT CAT5.

Hi all,

I'm thinking about getting Sky Digi in, and I'd like to pre-wire to
where my TV is so I don't have holes drilled where I don't want them.

I know a few people have mentioned the B & Q version of CT100 cable
(DCT100) in the past, but has anyone installed this, and is it OK to
use?

Also, if you've done this pre-wiring for Sky, what connectors should I
put on the dangly end and the wall plate?  I'd guess at an F connector
in the loft, but any info would be appreciated.

On a related-ish note, I was browsing round B & Q the other day (as you
do :-) and noticed they had something that looked suspiciously like CAT5
cable, marked as D4PAIR, or BT CW1308 equivalent at about £21 a reel.
Does anybody know if this is high enough quality to use for networking/
video/KAT5 type of applications, or should I order kosher CAT5?

Thanks,

David P.
