You will also need conduit in where were you plan to have it all ending up. That is where your switch and modem etc will be so that all cables end neatly out of wall socket at the end . For example in our place we have an office room so all cabling ends here. Our first phone point is here also. Great for using the cabling to extend the phone to the bedroom. ( we also have 2 wireless phones) I regret not adding a conduit near where we have the tv in the main bedroom. We added it near the bed instead for phone/internet use. If we'd added it near the bedroom tv it would have been easy to watch movies etc streamed form our data storage in the bedroom. The only way we could do that atm would be to run a cable across the floor and since that is messy it doesn't get done. We do have a few points around the house where there is too much interference for wireless to work well. so I'm glad we also have a wired network. Cables/points per conduit- Lounge 2. You might want more for a dedicated theatre room. We use one to connect a dw tv box to our tv. Activity room 2 Main bedroom 2 ( handy as the wireless isn't always good) Living area 5( we have a lot of computers) We have 2 conduits in the office which all cabling goes down from ceiling to exit plugs. One also houses the phone line. It was a tight fit. We also added an additional conduit for tv cable/whatever in our livingroom. This is currently not in use. In the office we have a 24 port switch ( was cheaper than a 16 port) , printer/fax/scanner connected both wirelessless to the system and also cabled in. At least one computer connected by cable at all times. We used to have a separate voip machine but now its part of the modem, phone connected to modem ( does "fall back" to main phone line if internet is down) love the easy of access when i need to check connections/modem etc. Lurgen's comments: * On cat5a versus cat 6- our installer told us the exact same thing about pretty much nil difference between the two if you are running distances less than 100m. Nice to hear it repeated as I was beginning to feel a bit unhappy we only have cat5e. * Separate modem/router/voip is handy and good but then I'd def want a dedicated case for it all. This is where we've been a bit slack. Since our office is the size and location of the original garage it's big enough to have 2 long trestle tables down one side of it. Plenty of room for a switch and a modem on the trestle next to the phone. Did consider a rack but seemed a bit excessive for such a small amount of gear. Unless I set up a dedicated work storage as well. Until then it can stay where it is or be houses on wall shelving. * WA double brick- steel door frames? consider electrical interference- My 2 drop out points in the house are where the wireless has to get through a fridge ( on the opposite side of the wall to modem) and then 2 walls + kitchen cupboards ( to one corner of the main living area) and, when it has to go through 3 single brick walls and a steel door frame( to main bedroom) .
