wrote in message ups.com... best prices for cat 6e wiring and connectors probably home depot who also has lots of other related stuff There is a national (US) standard within the BICSI www.bicsi.org suggesting each and every home have a very special voice+data cable setup. Of course it includes fiber, making it a very expensive cable (I'd imagine). I think it's like 2 cat7 strands, a cat 3 strand and 2 MM fiber runs. Good luck trying to terminate them. But, anyone could cut the ends off and then get your professional involved. As for where to get the supplies? Pros use giants like Anixter, Graybar, and Westell, among others. |

if you have walls open install flexible conduit, and definetely all
home runs to a central spot. standards change fast conduit allows pulling new cable without opening walls |

Most of the cable is available on eBay.... You won't always know that your getting quality, however... Try... www.jameco.com usually has good prices on connectors. also http://www.mcminone.com/ http://www.tselectronic.com/ http://www.allelectronics.com/ Also, the following site has interesting and unusual products that you might have trouble finding elsewhere... http://www.sandman.com/ Beachcomber |
