What kind of wire?



What kind of wire can be used for S-video, composite, or component
video, as well as HD?
Should I be using RG6 and/or something else?
I've heard of a proposed CAT8 that is capable of being used for this,
but unsure as to if I can just hook up the plugs on the ends and call
it good, or is there more to it.

>From a network perspective, I'm going to be using CAT5e throughout the
house for networking.

I'm assuming that I'd also need to use CAT5e, for control, run to each
room with a tv in it.  Can I put some kind of IR receiver on the end
of this CAT5e that will control the equipment in the centralized
location?


I know I asked a lot of questions, some of which might not be able to
be answered without more information.  However, my main question is
about video.  The first question is most important to me.
