new house: wiring

[Ray Zee]

you should be more worried over where the electricain puts the light switches and lights. also think about three ways and four ways. and outside lights. wiring for heat to the gargae. and future needs for plugins and outside plugins.
sane with plumbling stuff. mark my words i have built a bunch of places and if you dont make thedecisions they make what is easiest and cheapest for them.

Run double cat5 wire. If you want to stay fully in spec, you need a splitter on each end of the wire run to separate out telecom and data. You can't just peel back the outer jacket a couple of inches further and hook up two connectors. A splitter on each end costs more than a second wire run.

run fiber optics.

This is pretty far from some random track house with crappy building materials and a goofball contactor. The builder is a neighbor of mine and clearly obscessed with perfection on so many levels it goes well beyond what I could ever think of not being in the home building business. (which is great except for the cost) I appeciate your input though and agree that how the house is wired for internet poker should not be a major concern but I am just trying to confirm that it is done correctly before the dry wall goes up this week.
