A mate is in the process of fitting out a new shop and has asked

what he should do about running network points around the shop.

Cable is cheap, labour/access to install it isn't. If there is a need
for a network point fit two and two cables (1 Gb uses all four
pairs).

That's what I did. Of course I've had to do more wiring since, as 2 per point proved inadequate. I'll try not to make that mistake next time.

IME Don't really need to go much beyond four per point for normal
business users.

1. Printer
2. Desktop
3. Adhoc Laptop
4. Phone

However I once worked on an office build where 2 points were provided
for PCs and Phones. They'd forgotten each user had their own laser
printer which (due to the house system software) had to be installed
networked.

Opps.
