[KAT5] Wiring House

["Ant" <ant_marsh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I've been doing quite a bit of reading around and still have a few
questions left that I
can't seem to find a conclusive answer for....I'm hoping this will be the
place to get
those answers!!

I am not really wanting to flood wire the house with different types of
cable and am
convinced that I can do all I want by running plenty of network cable and
sockets -
my feelings of whether or not this is a feasible option have been greatly
boosted by
finding KAT5!!

1 - Should I opt for cat 5e or cat 6 cable? I know the latter will be more
expensive but
it will potentially be more futureproof. Does anyone have any experience
with cat 6?

2 - If I went with cat 6 would the KAT5 modules work okay?

3 - Can I use the same "network" for both data and audio/video or
is it better to use
patch panels and create separate networks?

4 - I'm not allowed to wire the house myself prior to it being handed over
to me
(health and safety and all that). The electrician has offered to put it in
(although can't
give me a price until I give him a detailed diagram). Has anyone else taken
this route
and what advice can they give?

Looking forward to your help/advice!

Thank you. :o)
