Re: The Most Cabled House in Britian?



That's a hell of a lot of Cat5!  Someone's going to be busy punching all those connections.  An average run of Cat5 is around 15m - so that's 400 runs with 800 ends to make off.  That's over a week's work!
 
But Cat5 isn't suitable for all HA wiring.  I've installed lots of 4 and 6 core alarm cable, and lots of 4 and 8 core screened cable.  I'll probably have close to 6000m of signal cabling when I'm finished but it won't all be Cat5 - so I can't be a contender for your competition! You're a 'Cableist' you are! :o)
 
Grrrr....

(PS. Does it count if I throw a few thousand meters of Cat5 in the cellar to win - or do I have to make the ends off and use the cable?)

Subject: [ukha_d] The Most Cabled House in Britian?

Is this the most CAT5 cable in any UK house? Tracey Gardner has run over 7 Kms (yes Kilometres) of CAT5 in his new house!! For our US readers that's a bit under four miles! Is this a record?
 
Check out the pics from the NEWS page.
