Hi,
I am curious, why go with cable at all since you are going to be using
wireless as well? Seems like a lot of expense!
As a very rough guide for cable installation costs, you can expect to be
quoted between $40 to $90 per drop plus some base costs of a few hundred
dollars from professional installers (office environment).
Best regards
Mike

Subject: [TriLUG] Question about wiring a new home with Cat6/e
I know this is not directly linux related .but the network cables would
be
plugging into linux boxen .lol.
I'm looking at a few things - first to purchase (build) a home, and
second,
to wire the house for cat6/e. The total sq ft on the house is 3396 (and
it's
a 2 story house). I was thinking about putting the switch (gbit),
router,
and cable modem underneath the stairs ..since it would be a more
centralized
location. or in the closet on the first floor.
Here are my questions:
- Which would I be better off going with, Cat6/e, Cat6, or Cat5e? I'm
also
going to put about 4 wireless routers in the house. One (primary) on the
first floor, and 3 bridges (one on the first floor, two on the second
floor).
- Same as above, why?
- How much would it cost for the cable, ends?
- I can get a very high speed tester for the weekend and crimpers --
from
the .mil
- About how much would I need for the home? Ideally, I'd like to have
a
jack in each room (bedroom / office / living / kitchen -- for a total of
8
rooms)
- How much (est), would it cost to have someone come in and install it
for
me? I'm decent at crimping / testing .I just want to make sure its
perfect
the first time .as its going to go up before the sheetrock.
You're more than welcome to contact me off-list if you like.
Thanks!
Eric
