Re: Support for vertical Cat5 Cable runs

["Ben McCormack" <yahoogroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Luckily in the new house I have a large attic in the new house.

My current idea is to house the 19" Rack (Server, Patching etc) and
also the C-Bus units in
this space.

I will run a vertical from the ground floor to run both Cat5 and Electrical
cables.
