Our house has old phone wiring that has a short circuit somewhere
between the box and the outlet for the DSL modem. We've decided to
replace the wire with new, and have dedicated lines for the computers.
Is it better to attach phone and data lines together at the outside box
and run each to phones and computers? Or do I take one line from the box
and split it inside with another box? I installed the original inside
phone lines and they're fine, but the contractor who build our addition
put in the data lines attached at the same post in the outside box, and
they're only Cat3. I have Cat6 wire to replace them, but want to do a
better job than he did; the building construction is excellent, but the
builder hates to do wiring in crawl spaces so he took that unfortunate
shortcut.
What parts do we need? What's the best method for wiring that doesn't
require spending all day in a black widow spider infested crawl space?
[I don't want to get bitten again!]
