Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 17, 2009 9:00 pm Have any of you got a data/Internet/IT point from your builder? May I ask what exactly you got from your builder? i. CAT-5 cable with a RJ-45 wall plate ii. Telephone line with a RJ-11 wall plate or ii. Telephone line with a RJ-45 wall plate I ordered one each for all my bedrooms… upon inspection I realized electrician has used a telephone like cable (4 internal wires) whereas I was expecting him to use a network cable instead (8 internal wire CAT-5 cable) When I asked the builder (Orb*t) to correct the error they defended (as always the case) saying what they mean by data/Internet/IT point is in fact a telephone line. I checked this with a 3rd party certified electrician & he disagrees with builder and said CAT-5 is what he’d use to provide a data/Internet/IT Point.

ii. Telephone line with a RJ-11 wall plate or iii. Telephone line with a RJ-45 wall plate i. Should definetly be data cable... But you should specify a 8 pin RJ45 ii. & iii. Will be 2 pair...
