Interesting that you should mention Home Automation. I presume that
in these days of wireless connectivity there's no longer any need to
festoon the house with CAT5 cabling!

Depends on how much you value the integrity of your network.

Like thigs happening when yusue te miucrowave, or a thuinderstom goes on
neraby...


However, given the one-off
opportunity to install extra wiring before the Second Fix, is there
anything you would specify to future-proof the property?

To reply by email change 'news' to my forename.

multiple cat5es are cheap and can be used for all sorts of apps, not
just pc networks.


CVae 5 is usable as alarm wiring, phone wiring, USB type wiring IIRC,
and just about usable for audio: There are ways to even run TV type
signals over it I believe.
