I am going to attempt to redesign my wiring closet.
I am looking to organize it. Right now, I only have a 28" leviton can.
At the bottom of the can is a power, and a cable scoop.
I was thinking of installing a 2nd 28" leviton can below to house an omnipro and keep all alarm/security stuff separate.
In there now every wire is entering through the top of the can, and the only items in it are some xantech and phone/data unit to just give me immediate functionality around the house.
I want to properly layout and position each component, and not sure what I should I do for optimization.
Is there a methodology to systematically laying out the location of each component, and routing the wires properly?
Is it silly to route wires through the top, for them to just come out the scoop?
Many wires pass through the can out the scoop to av gear I have on shelves. I am not sure how to bring ordliness to this.
All the cables are mixed together (speaker, alarm sensors, cat5, etc)
I would like to use this thread to talk about the reorg and ultimately blog about the awesomeness I turn this mess into.
If you guys need any information I can provide it.
