Hi there
My first post so please bear with me. I have searched for an answer to this but can't find any answers. So here goes:
I am planning to run structured cabling to all the rooms in the house. I plan to have at least 2 points in each room (some with 4 and the office with 8) leading back to a cupboard with patch panel, switch etc housed in a rack.
Trouble is of course the outlet always need to be near electrical sockets so that fly leads don't have to run across the room to where the particular computer or appliance that uses it is located. In places I can keep the ethernet cable away from the under floor power cables but in others it has to run very close, sometimes at right angles but in others parallel to it.
Would you use screened cable (FTP) in this case or will standard UTP be sufficient? Looking at the cost of screened jacks and wall plates that match the rest of houses sockets and wall outlet the cost will be phenomenal compared to the standard UTP jacks in the same range.
What I don't want to end up with however is having to replace it all when I find that UTP isn't up to it!!!
Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
