Re: Basic home networking - how much? 10Apr 22, 2009 12:47 am $210 is a base rate for one Outlet wich all cablers base a quote from reguardless... now for most home installs aren't as easy as just mulitplying that number and usualy at the end of an install each run has cost less as a whole..for example i have a recent install of 35 Cat6 spots ina 2 level house now 35 x $210 =$7350 now to second fix for my client with patch panels and a basic wall cabinet the total is $4369 which works out to $125 per outlet/run Kodiak Data Cabling onFaceBook Consult*, Design and Installation Data, TV, Home Theatre/ AV Cabling, Multi Room Audio, IP CCTV and Door Intercoms Ask for a Quote. *DIY DATA Cabling Is Ilegal Re: Basic home networking - how much? 11Apr 22, 2009 11:53 am If it's any help we are having the builder install data outlets through the house and running them back to a central location. Here they will be terminated into rack mounted patch panel. Cost per data point/run is $79 each. This does not matter how far the point is from the central location. i.e. two data points in one room = $158.00 I thought this cost was quite reasonable through the builder. Having total of 10 points run.

I just got sick of it and did the course myself. I've just finished the theory and have 1 hands on day training and then I can send away for my license. The course + a first aid course + Qld Blue Card + 1 day hands on assessment came to under $1k. The theory took about 30 hours of study and tests which I did over a week. So there's an alternative to paying someone else to do it! Plus you can do it for your mates and charge them hehe Our Blog! http://cityplantation.blogspot.com | Building the Havana 485 with Plantation Homes (Henley) Re: Basic home networking - how much? 15Apr 22, 2009 11:18 pm iTalk I could easily make those data points, the dilemma is how to drill a perfect rectangle in the plaster Err you dont need too, you make a small (and ugly) hole, pull the cable through, terminate on the socket then screw the socket into the wall, the socket covers the ugly hole... ed. The Data Guys Australian Standards state a minimum of two data outlets per location. So now we're being told you need a minimum of 2 data points in one location? Thats the reccomendation, mainly for commercial premisis it seems. Thats what were doing anyhow (console + HTPC, PC plus phone, that sort of thing). Remember you can use CAT5/RJ35 for phones aswell Re: Basic home networking - how much? 16Apr 23, 2009 8:41 am who on earth uses Cat5 ???? Cat5e and Cat6 ftw....

I'd love to do the course myself (I'm an engineer, and can cable with my eyes closed).... but because I now work with software, I don't think I can get the practical work done to actually get the accreditation. I've had a big think about my place, and I actually need three main runs to my central location, and a "through the wall" run. i.e. I'd have a quad RJ45 wallplate in my lounge room wall, and directly on the other side of that wall, a single RJ45 wallplate (connecting them together with a very short patch lead through the inside of the wall). I'd then have 3 longer runs, out to the other rooms (single RJ45 wallplates). I will ask my builder how much that would cost to do.... I basically just want it done as easily and as cheaply as possible. 7 12181 I thought this would be a popular question but I haven't been able to find any similar posts.
