the kit to do it: http://www2.warehouse.com/product.asp?pf%5Fid=DTK1462&blind=no&cat=datacomm extra wire in case you're running wire to the moon: http://www2.warehouse.com/product.asp?pf%5Fid=DBC1838 you'll also need to acquire an outlet/switch box for each wallplate, a 3/8" drill and a 3/8" to 1/2" paddle bit to drill the holes. if you bought some phone wire/video wire/cat5 staples it'd look more professional. you can do all of it with time and a little ingenuity, especially since you have a crawlspace and an attic to work in. i've never seen an electrician that was qualified to run data cables step in a house for under $500. some things to consider: don't coil excess wire. don't kink or run a staple through the wire(if you bother to secure it). keep wire atleast four inches away from power lines. keep wire atleast eight inches away from transformers like doorbell transformers and fluorescent light ballasts. someone mentioned a site that explains how to terminate a pass through and a cross cable. maybe they could repost? if you've got any other questions, feel free to harass me about it -Brian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan Koum" <jkb@ethereal.net> To: <freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Saturday, June 10, 2000 5:50 PM Subject: Re: Off topic, sorta: home RJ-45 wiring > while we are on the "off topic" subject here: how hard is to wire a house > with cat-5? > > i want to put ethernet in a couple of rooms. it's a two story, 8 years old > house with an attic and crawl space. i just don't want to run ethernet all > over the house, but i also don't want to cut walls just to do this. > > if anyone can point me in the right direction, i'd really appreciated it. > if you know any professionals who can do it, pls let me know -- i am in northern > california. thanks, > > -- yan > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
