These guys were using structured cable with 2 RG6QS and 2 CAT-5 cables in
every jacket and I don't think they were counting the separate cables in the
length total!  This home's automation center looked like a nuke sub's
missile room.  They even had a giant power conditioner with a coil that
looked to be over a foot in diameter.  It was very impressive.  I'm only
sorry I didn't tape it.

One thing's for sure.  Modern home automation = boatloads of wire!
