Hi Guys / Gals

I decide to setup lan points (cat6 cables), 2 points each at my living room and another 3 rooms

However existing i have cornices in place, is it a hassle to setup? Do they need to hack the whole cornices to run the cables?

Any good contractor for recommendation?

if u want to hide the cables in the cornices.. then i guess have to redo the cornices. or u can just run the cables in trunkings.

Actually it would be more pratical to have Wifi instead of having LAN points, dont forget once the cables are laid and concealed in the event troubleshooting is requitred how are you going to remove or change the cable toms of headache and heatache.

If you still want to have LAN points it is recommended you use cable brands like AMP. If you still need a contractor for cabling you can PM me for contact, I can give you the contact of my company contractor.

if you dun mind running half-inch trunking above the skirting, can DIY. very easy to do...

Why not try drill a 1" hole in the cornice, then use the fiberglass leader to guide the cable from one end to the other, the patch the hole with plaster.

Hi, I would also like to install 2 lan points for 2 rooms, 1 point per room, any contractor to recommend? Thanks!

actualyl why not u guys use homeplug instead of laying lan cables? Connection is almost as good and hassle free.

connection quality is not as good as LAN cables, as the homeplugs is very susceptible to electrical noise.

my house is setup with all CAT 6 utp LAN points.

but before we do that what is your backbone?

if it's 10/100 why waste the CAT. 6 cable?

CAT 5E will suffice or may I say over kill...

Also if you lan points are coming out from a 10/100 base t router whats the point...

Before setting up lan points, the most important thing to make sure of is the backbone cable.

If you are using Opennet fair enough. But any other than opennet; backbone like RG59 or RJ11 cables are kind of time wasting.

As what we call it copper will always be copper....

My home setup:

1. Backbone Opennet

2. D-Link 8-port Gigabit Desktop switch X 2 (1000 Base T)

3. D-Link Extreme N Gigabit router (1000 Base T)

4. AMP NetConnect CAT 6 SL series 24port Patch Panel

let me know if you need any help on networking

Ya. I agree.

CAT5e would be enough for 1000bps in our home.

It is very easy to laid your own CAT cable.

The cable, socket & the RJ45 crimper cost $100++.

You can easily DIY, to save a lot of money.

I have this website for your RJ45 color code

Dear all,

I'd like a contact for a contractor that does good CAT6 cabling. I have my own networking switches and all I need is for them to lay the cables + termination plates.

Please PM me, appreciate it much!
