Hi all,

Looking at wiring our house up for networking over the next year or two.

Now, I am going to start with my daughters room as it's stripped anyway. I figured the best way to do it would be to run chisel out a couple of channels and run the wire up them into the attic space. From here I can either patch them and run them all down to a gigabit switch or put a patch in the attic and run that cable down.

I won't be connecting it to anything yet but I'll run them up and wire them all up afterwards when all the rooms are done.

For cable i've found the following:

Cat5e 305m (1000ft) solid copper ethernet cable 24AWG 4 pair copper for £51.56 inc vat.

Would this be acceptable?
 
nice one I'll have a look at those links now :)

Edit: So, I am guessing the best way would be to run cables to the attic space and connect to the patch, then run cables down from the patch to the ground floor and connect to the router?
