My most recent wiring project was running outdoor rated CAT6 out to
the garage. You're already digging for one set of cable, might it be
worth digging for another? (Cat6 is easy to terminate, just use a
punch down connector and a decent punch tool.)

You can't run network cable close to power cable, though, unless you
take certain precautions. Parallel runs are a bad thing, but if you
must go close to power cables you can enclose the cable in a grounded
pipe. I didn't run in to these problems with my cable run, so I
didn't research them further.

My buddy is an IT guru and he told me to run CAT10 with the AC and I'd
be fine.



I wasn't aware CAT10 was a thing yet. AFAICT, they're only up to CAT7.

A quick search (I'm not an expert, not even claiming to be) doesn't show
any results for CAT10. Wonder if he meant something different?

FWIW, I'd put the LAN cables in a different conduit as well. You know
that LAN standards will evolve for a while longer and you might decide 20
years down the road it's worth upgrading to faster cable. It'd be easier
to pull the cables out if all that's there is LAN and you don't have
another cable you need to stay put.

While I agree that it's good to have the cables separated, I would be
very surprised if anything above 10GB/sec was common for home use in
20 years. The trend is to wifi, not faster wired networks.

Actually you need a lot more if you are doing multiple TV's on the
Net, computers, etc.

A lot more than TEN BILLION BITS PER SECOND?

I should have typed 10Gbps. and a bit is not a byte.

Nobody said it was. Show us that a lot more than that is needed in a
home network.

I have High speed WIFI necessary because things
move around here a lot, plus we can use it in the back yard and
garage. With the grand kids here and online video games plus the video
interaction you need a good home backbone, and I can certainly tell
the difference between hardwired network to my HO computer verse wifi
to laptops, phones and tablets.

How old is your wifi? If it's not 802.11n at least, it's time to
upgrade.

I always have the latest, and the integration is possible on mine as
well so I have full usability on the High and low freqs at the same
time for faster throughput. While the data lines are 1gig, the
backbone of my switch is high to all the 1 gig on more than one line
at a time.

On Fiber optics 1 to 100gig is easily possible.

Want to play Name that Tune?

You're claiming that your one gig wifi can't handle 4K TV? You
definitely _are_ lying about something.

I didn't say that and you did not answer by question about what makes
you think you are actually seeing 4K video?

I just opened this post to say I am heading off to bed and by computer
is being shut down, as is this thread with you. HAND
