Hi,

Just thinking through my cable planning stage and these are my initial
thoughts - anyone else got any thing that I should consider?

To Each Room:

4 * Cat 5e - RJ45 terminated
2 * CT100 coaxial (1 for AV distribution/ other for internal distribution
from room to node 0)
1 * speaker cable (don't know what type yet)

For now, I will fit plates with relevant connectors in each room, but
probably leave the coax/speaker cable at Node zero until I determine how to
use the other end properly!

Also, I was considering putting 8 * cat5 or even 16 * cat5 in the living
room where all the media kit will be housed; in my office; and in the
missus' office (read: pc games room).

Does this sound about right?

What's next??  I am going to go check out all of the locations that I want
the plates to terminate at in each room and try to extrapolate the cable
run
to the loft.  Unfortunately looks like the walls in the media room are
brick
:(  so I will probably have to chase that out for conduiting/cabling.

BTW: A tip that a friend at work told me was that when I lay all the
cabling, also lay some string in case a cable needs replacing or capacity
needs increasing in the future - sounds like a very useful idea indeed -
anyone else done this?

Is there anything else that I should be doing?

Thanks,
