Sorry I was unclear, Simon, yes it's presently 2 Cat6's and 2 coaxes per
bundle/wall plate but I will have several of those wall plates per room.
At least 2 per bedroom one but up to five per reception room.

I may end up needing wireless bridges if some of the devices are not
sufficiently proximate to wall plates.  But I can't plan every appliance
possibility for the next ten years, which is how long I hope the wiring
and decorations will last.
