Hi
James
That
sounds good but where did you get the 20mm conduit from? I have looked
around
and had no luck.
I
am
not going to be running CAT 5 every where at the
moment.
The
cable that I am installing is to run a second set of speakers from my Denon
AVR3801 receiver to play radio etc in the bedroom, we plan in install some
ceiling speakers to keep it all discrete!
I
think we are going to use Linn Sweetspot speakers in the bedroom after much
looking around, does anyone have any experience of
these?
While I am here I had better ask another few
questions.
What
would be the best and cheap way of sending IR downstairs, I have spent a
bit
of time investigating this and the RF solutions do not get good reviews and
the wired stuff is expensive, any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Well, I ran some 20mm galvanised steel conduit
>from
TV and FM aerial downleads.
Thanks to Mark CAT5 Flipping McCall and you
lot
with all your bargains (DDAR, TiVo, Book PC) I took the plunge and started
cabling with CAT5. I have spent ALL afternoon getting the RG59
downleads out (going to cable tie CT100 to the conduit instead) and running
4 x CAT5 down it. It was a real sod because it's about 5m in length
(no bends thankfully) and I had to feed the bundle of CAT5s down a few
inches at a time on my own.
Of course, 20mm conduit restricts you to at
maximum 4 x CAT5 (fewer if it has bends, believe me), and you need a
special
threading (as possibly bending) tool. It looks OK though. Mark
Harrison has used ventilation ducting (bathroom/kitchen extractor fan stuf)
and you can get LOTS of CAT5 in it :)
