I know this is not directly linux related .but the network cables would be plugging into linux boxen .lol.
I'm looking at a few things - first to purchase (build) a home, and second, to wire the house for cat6/e. The total sq ft on the house is 3396 (and it's a 2 story house). I was thinking about putting the switch (gbit), router, and cable modem underneath the stairs ..since it would be a more centralized location. or in the closet on the first floor. Here are my questions: - Which would I be better off going with, Cat6/e, Cat6, or Cat5e? I'm also going to put about 4 wireless routers in the house. One (primary) on the first floor, and 3 bridges (one on the first floor, two on the second floor). - Same as above, why? - How much would it cost for the cable, ends? - I can get a very high speed tester for the weekend and crimpers -- from the .mil - About how much would I need for the home? Ideally, I'd like to have a jack in each room (bedroom / office / living / kitchen -- for a total of 8 rooms) - How much (est), would it cost to have someone come in and install it for me? I'm decent at crimping / testing .I just want to make sure its perfect the first time .as its going to go up before the sheetrock. You're more than welcome to contact me off-list if you like. Thanks! Eric
