Thanks CollinR for your response. I am extending the KV part to a touchscreen monitor so I can't do RDP/VNC unless I put another small pc near the TouchMonitor. Thanks Sacedog for your response. I would defenitely pay premium to have a stable mouse movement. I however could not afford those...

Hello All, Is there a website that is dedicated for AV recievers and lets me choose/shortlist by feature set, review, feedback etc. Something like dpreview.com (for cameras), projectorcentral.com (for projectors).. Regards, Shaurya

Thank you sacedog and politics123 for you feedback. I will go ahead and wire with 16/2. Regards, Shaurya

Thanks Paul for your response. So 16/2 is good enough as my runs are around 50ft. My main concern was around futureproofing...I mean will it be beneficial in any way to run 16/4 instead. Regards, Shaurya

Hello All, I need to do speaker wiring this weekend. I have 16/2 and 16/4. I understand that 16/2 is sufficient. Any reason to use 16/4 instead. Regards, Shaurya

Hello BSR, This Elk can only power 3 outputs. I need something with around 8 outputs. Any other suggestion.. Great site for the realy boards. Will give them a call about IR relay. I liked your Ocelot route...Little hesitant..Read about the new product called FireCat...not sure if I should wait...

I have 16/4 and 16/2 (both used for speaker wiring) at the moment. Which one is good for the use. I can buy something else as well if required. Please...

Hello All, Just wanted to update cocooners that I did a bench test as suggested and I believe 4Amps can be supplied over Cat-5's 4 pair. Supplied 12v dc power to 100 foot cat5 and kept the monitor on for 4 hrs. Cat-5 didn't get hot..may be warm (very mild). So it apprears that I can tranfer...

Hello Hotwire, No the devices are all different voltage...6V, 9V & 12V. Your theory looks good but doing what you have described really provides uninterrupted Power?? I have no clue.. The benefit of the UPS from APC (proposed by RonX) is that you can reset the device say reset the modem after...

Hello Sacedog, Thanks for your response. Yes & No for the option to pull 2 pair cable. I prewired my house with Cat-5 for the places I wanted to have touchscreens. At some locations I can drop another 2-pair cable (eg Upstairs), however at someplaces I can't (eg downstairs). Regards, Shaurya
