Title: Starting to plan my structured wiring setup
Hello,
I’m hoping this is a great place to start with my ideas for structure wiring my house. As you will read I'm beginning to brainstorm my ideas for the house. I would like feedback on what wiring is recommended, how I should consider wiring this up, is there anything I should change or consider, etc. I have read that RG6 Quadsheilding is advised for video, CAT5e for voice and data, but still trying to figure out for intercom and audio. In addition I’m also trying to figure out how many wires to send to each location and where to locate the Central Wiring panel. I have read Bob Catanzarite’s site swhowto.com which has some good details. If I’m posting in the wrong forum please advice where I should post….
