It is possible to cable under the floor as gaps have been left for electric cabling, also I forgot to say earlier I have a NAS drive and a SONOS system.Click to expand.I looked at loxone, but did not like the single point of failure and lock in to a single manufacturer for the wiring scheme ( eg there is no Alexa support at present) Also to get maximum advantage you are encouraged to there line of peripherals and switches. If you think I should start this as a new topic just let me know. I dont have enough technical knowledge to take a little bit from one suggestion and a little from another. I guess I just need to understand my options and as another poster pointed out once the walls are done its a pain to cable again. If you were taking down all the walls in your flat (measuring approx 15 meters x 6 meters (plus another 7 meters x 3 meters for the garden) what system/cabling /equipment would you put in?īe as ambitious/aspitional/conservative as you see fit. Thanks for the replies so far, Im going to ask the question slightly differently if I may and probably the way I should have asked it in the first place. Even 1gbit is hard to use unless you have servers in your house that transfer lots of data for internet most people only get a tiny fraction of 1gbit. 1gbit is more than enough for most things you will likely be using. If you do not plan to stay there for many years until 10g becomes common in equipment I would run cat5e and save the money. Cat6 cable will run 10g up to 50 meters which is much less than most single runs in a house. You can also in many cases use normal cat6 cable. Unless you have plans to use 10gbit on day 1 I would put cat6a in the walls and use cat5e keystone since those are easily replaced. The bottleneck at these speeds are not the network the disk subsystem tend to limit you unless you used specially designed server. It is highly unlikely you can even think to utilize 10gbit. For things that will run faster than 10gbit cat7 is not good enough and there is a new standard being worked on. The vendors talk about less crosstalk etc etc but it really does not make any difference. There really is no advantage to cat7 that I can see. Many thanks for any help/advice you are able to offer ad sorry for the complete lack of knowledge.Ĭat7 generally has no purpose. Also I have a Nu-heat underfloor heating system – I know at the time I was offered a gizmo to plug into my router which would have meant I could control it from an app, could it be connected to whatever the new system ends up being? Other information which may be relevant I live quite far from the exchange and my wireless doesn’t cover my entire flat and I would like it to ideally. What else do I need to order to connect everything together? How do I work out how much cable to order? (is it run in single lengths?). Having done some research post his suggestion I am of the impression that Cat 7 cables would be better. He has run the cables before as he used to be an odd job man at a university. I’m in the process of having all of my internal walls replaced and my odd job man has suggested running cat 5 cables and cables for a cctv system should I ever wish to fit one. Hi, A few questions from a complete novice if I may.
