I too is building a new house, and want to have every room to have at least on wired port and all wired up to a central location. I just want to make sure I understood what I need to do: 1) have my incoming phone line terminate at a central location 2) connect the ADSL/Cable modem to that incoming phone line 3) connect a router to the ADSL/Cable modem 4) have ports/outlets install in all my rooms with cables running from these rooms to my central location 5) connect my router to these ports Is this right? yes Quote: Just more questions, if I may. 1) What's the differences between Cat5 or Cat6, is it just speed and the cost? 2) What is the best place should this "central location" be? Comments above seems to be either a cabinet or garage, I was thinking of maybe the living room, as most of the device I need to be wired up PS3, TV, DVR, Apple TV are all in the living room. Many thanks in advance. 1) Cat5 < doesn't excist anymore... it is Cat5e... Cat6 offers better crosstalk/ line noise reduction then Cat5e. also Cat6 will be 10GigE compatible 2) personal choice somewhere out of the way and you don't mind having flashing lights/ fan noise all the time best to keep all the gear out of view of everyone... ina nice wall mounted garage enclosure or if you want on the top shelf of a WIR 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: Phone/Network cabling advice for new house 18Mar 31, 2011 7:41 pm Totally agree Chuq. I love cabling. The best thing we did for our house I think. Love being able to to sift through movie collection in the theatre room....all running through the cabling from a central port. Love it. Re: Phone/Network cabling advice for new house 20Apr 01, 2011 4:33 pm One thing I will add to pugs advice is that usually, the modem/router is a combined device. You can do it separately but not that common in residential situations.
