I
want
to lay a quantity of cable around my house – to a small cupboard in
the
storeroom/soon to be office /box room…
However,
the partition walls in my house are brick.. not the conventional stud (they
are all supporting walls)
I
want
to lay 8 cat 5’s in the front
room.
4x
in
the dining room / dining kitchen
4
in
the master bed room
4
in
the spare room
and
back to node 0 – the box
room.
/me thinks you don't have
enough
CAT5 there dude ;)
I
also
want to lay some more power cables + some speaker jack-points on the
walls.
How
do
I go about laying the cable? – I presume I don’t just lay the
cable on the
wall and then plaster over it?
Is
there a trunking product or conduit available for me to adhere to the wall,
to
drop my cables down?
<plug mode="blatant">Have a look at http://www.home-automation.info/
for some information.</plug>
Having the right tools for the job certainly makes
life much easier. I'd recommend an SDS Plus drill with rotary stop, a
back box sinker and SDS chisels. Much easier - I recently had to
channel
two short runs (6 inches) from the floor to back box to accommodate some
more
CAT5. It took about 5 mins to mark, drill and chisel out a channel
that
would take the conduit.
