RE: Re: 'Shotgun' style twin CAT5 patch lead suppliers ?

["Neil Ball" <neilball@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would a different balun set be an option? HD Vision are to launch a
faceplate with integrated balun that has two RJ45s on the back and an HDMI
socket on the front which then lets you use an HDMI lead direct to your
screen. They already have a version using US style faceplate, the new one
is
either a full UK single gang faceplate or 50x50 euromodule so would fit a
range of faceplates.  Should be available soon from the UK distributor but
no dates or prices available yet.

I'd thought about that but the steep learning curve and need for retraining
always put me off finding a replacement. I'm also quite fond of the current
one ;-)

The baluns are a bit big to go in a back box (Muxlab 500050's). I might
have
rethink the whole thing. The W's main objection seems to be that the outlet
is *very* visible on an open area of wall painted a pale colour and with
white skirting that shows everything up. I might launch the 'I'll have to
chase another channel in the wall' threat and see the reaction :-0

Thanks for the suggestions though - especially some of the more creative
ones!
