Re: Cat5e cable in walls



Title: Cat5e cable in walls
I have 8 behind the desk in my study. So far I have the following....
 
PCs x 3
Laser Printer (JetDirect Card)
Wireless AP
Phone
ISDN
KAT5
 
So..all EIGHT used already!  I can claim back a couple by putting a small switch in the study to hang the PCs off and I could move the AP to another room I suppose...but you get the picture.
 
I also have 8 to the rear of the "Fi" in the AV room.  So far I have used over half of them without trying (KAT5 x 2, Phone for Digigbox/TiVo, Voice Phone, Data for DDAR). I know there is a lot of banter here about never having enough CAT5 but it is true - unless your name is Tim Morris of course :)
 
It's soooo cheap to add a few more runs when you are building.  Bung some more in...and before Hoye comes along...don't underestimate the Kitchen!!! ;)

Subject: [ukha_d] Cat5e cable in walls

Has anyone got any advice on the placement of them or the number to fit.  Ive seen people mention that they ran four cables and had already run out but at the moment ill only be using it to network the pc downstairs to the server upstairs which is running homeseer.  I cant really think of any other uses when Im using dect phones (so no cable for phone) and x-10 for the lights.
