Re: Comfort Wiring



They are suggesting this for AV use, so we would have to cable to every point likely to require a TV, tough luck if you want to move it to the other side of the room.
 
Perhaps they expect us to flood wire it alongside cat5;)

At 19 metres their cable would be cheaper.
 
At 20 metres KAT5 would be cheaper.
 
Using CAT5 is far more flexible and you can afford to cable more locations than you actually need to allow for future changes.
 
What are they proposing this for?
Door cameras or normal CCTV distribution ?
 
I would like to see how the coax performed at 200 metres as there is probably a maximum reel length of 100m anyway which would cost you £380 :-(

Anybody seen the new wiring scheme proposed by comfort.

They say sending video over cat5 is too expensive (they don't mention KAT5),
and are suggesting the manufacture of a 4 way coax with an estimated cost of
£3.80 per metre!

Seems like a very expensive and inflexible solution.
