Structured Wire

In looking for just the right type of wire to wire the house I have discoverd many different types of composite cable. I have also defined more of what I want in my structured wire layout. Since our electrical wire project is underway I have asked our electrician if he would assist me a bit with some additionaly holes, and where applicable pull a kite string so I can later pull the wire.

In the end I am going with straight cable not composite. I am going to pull 1 cat6 for data network, 1 cat5 for multiple phone, and 1 coax (to carry cable/antena reception). A trick with this I have foundis to route the cables to avoid large electrical current areas. I am going to route the cables to the opposite corner of the basement as the electrical service entrance. I will be using a Leviton structured media panel and 4 hole wall plates with respective keyinserts. That should make the place alittle more usefull once I get back into my other hoby (old SGI computers).
