Does anyone know if it is possible to re terminate (replace the end) of an optical cable? I have run one from my pc to amp through the at frame stage and now i have found one end damaged. ::angry:: and not working. I do have hdmi running from the pc as well but cant get the video card to through pu...

C-bus does other things.. just most people can't afford them.. there is also Control 4 ... unless you have a lot of money and are lazy, talking to a Sparkie/ comms cabler will be able to get closer to what you actually want to do then using very high systems for mid range homes

you can put a WAP in the Pantry but other then that not the best place.. find someone else to do it then.. unless you are stuck with your builders people then just get them to do conduit and get someone in after handover

+1 with pugs' link. +1 Matt and Projector All that NBN speed will throttle right down with WiFi, more so if several connections. More wired outlets ! Easier now than Retrofit. WIP or WIR look like candidates for Data, but pugs will know way more than me on that count. ::wornout:: t garage ftw...

Pugs, Not positive on "non IP" services. Cat6 carrying Video/Audio ? I do data transfers across the LAN. Haven't progressed to a NAS, yet. My setup seems OK, but that is just my current setup, installed in 2000. I'm sure everybody's "mileage may vary". My biggest data hog (LTO-3...

I stand corrected, but replied because no one else had. Now we have a pro who can clarify what Kempe has asked about. Other posts in this forum have indicated price per point, but I am certainly glad that Pugs, and many others, do it differently. My experience, in the commercial field, every point ...

All full speed ahead. Cables is likely to charge for each and every point, as electricians do. Every point is an individual cable, and has to be terminated at each end. For example, if 4 cables run to tv room and 4 cables to living room, then you now have 8 cables back at the modem/router. Cost = 8...

Cat5e is rated for GBE... just not for 10GBE so with at least Cat6 you are "future Proofed" enough for that if the runs are under 35m

Telstra velocity is slightly different to NBN. Telstra velocity is run by fibre optic cable and is all underground. umm NBN is FTTH same as Teltra Verlocity and Opticomm the difference being at this stage NBN doesn't have a TV/ Pay TV feed other then IPTV ps you may want to learn how to turn off yo...

they like they been 'white vaned'

you just need an apple mac and 100 hours of tinker time and you could sit in your virtual lounge room as well Note that I am a veteran IT engineer but this was my first foray into both apple and design, it has been quite fun although I expect the execution to be much more difficult. I plan to take ...

Yep - but will they work outside - or do they need unobstucted access ? AND - even indoors - are they good. Oops - sorry - are you saying the speakers need to be plugged into a socket ? the wifi receiver needs power so techincally they arn't wireless speakers.. and pretty sure the box needs LOS (Li...

Re those 5.1 speaker systems you see where the 2 back ones are wifi ! Can you do something similar from your TV/Music set-up so that the speakers can be outside ? Also - do the inside one work all that well - anyone that has them ? Mine have always been wired. but they still require Power....

NBNCo will install to a working ethernet point in your house and connect you up. As part of the install, what they wont do is multiple sockets and the room you want may have extra charges to it or may be deemed not possible for them. No they are not.. they are doing an interna Fibre run to the ONT ...

I don't get it- Why are people paying their builders $1000's of dollars to be "NBN Ready" when NBN Co will do the standard installation free anyway? Sounds like a ripoff NBN will install the fibre cable but the cost that people are paying for is data points in the house to use the fibre f...

as for the hall we were wanting to maximize space, so that bit that looks wasted instead of going through, at this stage will be a "Server room" i.e. media server/ data cabling / security system / maybe a safe etc. Hopefully the scale drawing/quote comes in the next few days :) when you h...
