Re: Finishing basement, suggestion on RG6 cable needed

[gray-beard <gray-beard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Take a look at Structured cable. 2,RG-6 & 2,cat-5 in a single covered
cable. This is what I install in custom homes here in Denver, CO.
As an electrician that installs the stuff, it is the only way to go.
Plan for the future.  Install a little more the what you need today.
