We did a similar setup a while back for a granny unit. For our project we ran 1 cat5 cable through underground conduit, through wall, run up into ceiling in living room->bedroom. In closet we have 1 gigabit switch that split off 2 cables running back into living room and kitchen. I used snapthrough wallport couplers so it would be easy to connect or disconnect cables. Avoid running next to electrical wiring and your good.
I bought a small crimping kit ($15 - I already had some cat5 cable) and just followed the color diagram to make the cables. lopaka ________________________________ From: FORC5 <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, October 4, 2009 6:21:00 AM Subject: [H] how do I ? Rewiring my new *cave* b4 sheet rock and decided to go ahead and run cat5 to the corner of the cave closest to the house. Not going to run to the house at this time. How do I splice cat5 ? My thoughts are a low voltage box on the outside wall but surely I can not just put jack there. Also thought of just poking thru and putting the jack on the inside. Or maybe just leave enough coiled outside to make the run. Is there a direct bury cat 5 cable. ? Distance to house is only maybe 20'. Have setup a bridge router but figure eventually need /want to hard wire. fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- Paul Revere was a tattle-tale.
