We built our house ten years ago, and seized the opportunity to install
cabling in the walls (at the time, to support distribution of satellite
tv and also ethernet to computers). We put connect boxes in a whole lot
of places, all terminated at a patch panel -- still bristling with

Adapters cost here about £30 at each end for a single ethernet port, or £70 for
an extension with three ethernet ports and seven power sockets. That's a lot
less expensive than any quote I've had for running equivalent concealed cables
within the walls and floors round this place. Terminating an

I politely disagree. Powerline
So it is. My mistake.

This thread is about new construction.
But for an existing house, by all means try homepl

That's what I mean, since you ask so politely.

What do you mean, much less expensive? I'll agree that paying for labor
to pull wires in existing construction is expensive, b

That's why I suggested the blue flex plastic conduit that they sell at
Home Depot or Lowes, its cheap, easy to insta
Run conduit that you can fish cable through if you have the walls
apart.
When I remodeled the 2nd floor of a house 5 years ago I ran EMT steel
conduit to all of the wall jacks. It was a pain in the ass and it cost
a lot more money. Five years later I could, if I still owned the place,
pull out

Speaking of fires, if you run any cable through a heating or
air-conditioning duc
CAT6 is definitely more future proof. You can run 1 GB over both CAT5e
and CAT6 but it's likely that CAT6 will eventually be able to handle
even higher speeds.
I also agree that if you can run some of the small diameter "smurf
tube" conduits since it will make it easier in the future to backhaul
I'm with Pat:
I would use Cat 6 because the bulk price does not add to the price (as
he says.) I'm not sure anyone has bulk Cat 7 and (as usual) the making
of the connection can be as important as the cable in-between (though
connections can be re-done.)
Proponents might point out that 5e should

Very curious to see if that subject line draws any views. In the case
that it does...
If I were going to run ethernet throughout the house (new

I'd like to be able to run gigabit speeds, and have some measure of
