Yeah, Home Depot has been a good source of wall plates in the past but I'm
starting to worry about using non-plenum vs. plenum. I know the law about
air returns and plenum but now I'm starting to think it's probably good practice
to use plenum cat5 all the time along with plenum rated tie wraps.


I'm going to home depot later to price some stuff out. We'll see if they have any
plenum rated stuff (I don't think so, but I might be surprised).

Greg,

You'll probably want Cat 5e or Cat 6 wire. You can get the Cat 5e and most
of what you're looking for from Home Depot or Lowes, for that matter. I'd
shop around to all of these to find out who has the best prices, but I know
you can get 1000 ft of Cat 5e from the big home improvement stores, along
with the tie wraps, wall plates, punch down panels, outlets, etc., and it
may be a little cheaper there.

What's the best local (to Raleigh, North Raleigh, etc) place to get bulk LAN stuff like plenum rated cat 5, wall plates, plenum rated tie wraps, etc?
