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.


My guy says the trend will be back to wired, because wireless is getting
too clogged up.
Wired is still faster and more reliable and will be for the foreseeable
future or until they find new frequencies. :-)

He is right. Especially when you find out how easy it is to hack WIFI
to the homes and businesses around you, especially on those that
haven't a clue about security. Years ago I used to connect up and
print out messages on their printers to clue them in.

Heavens! Someone will hack my television viewing! Oh, the
humanity!!!

They will and can hack your smart TV software or app's.

So they can then watch my Netflix, too?!!! I'm TERRIFIED, I tell ya'.

LOL actually not netflix per se, but embed voice commands in your
movie to enable your voice command programs without you knowing it.

That's a pretty good trick since I don't have any microphones around.
BTW, you're ****ting bricks over WiFi security and *have* Internet
microphones sprinkled around your house? Amazing!

But I was speaking of the TV itself, I was in contact with Samsung
last week and this is one of the things they mentioned about
increasing the security of their updates for your smart TV's. They are
starting to control the sources of where you can download the app's
for your TV because of hackers.


Bet you're one of those anti big corporation types to.

Or they want control of the market, like Google (Android) and Apple
(iOS).

If you only knew what unrestrained programmers do either through
ingenuity, or laziness. When Windows NT became dominant a lot of
programs crashed because they wrote directly to the hardware, like
controlling the video card, etc. OR direct read write to the Hard
disk. I had done it myself because normal dos systems were too slow.

The windows put the lid on that with their hardware application layer
that prevented things like that, and many times if would cause a BSOD.

Apple got smart and limited programmers, and perhaps Google is now as
well. It is for good reason, I don't begrudge them one bit, I was
always basically anti Apple but they did get their stuff together, and
I now use their phones and tablets and I don't look back.

Linux is learning the hard way that a certain amount of regulation is
necessary. So I wouldn't begrudge any of them too quickly.

How about us dropping all this for the stuff we have in common, like
wood working?
