Gigabit Ethernet for your home

March 9, 2009
 by 

Its always been my dream to have an automated house and the first step is hardwired Ethernet. Whether you are going to be running video over Ethernet, VoIP, or just the good old Internet you really just cant beat copper. Although wireless has come a long way since 802.11b it will just never keep up. Besides the fact that copper performs flawlessly and extremely fast, there are no reliability issues that you inevitably run into while using on WiFi. If anyone out there reading has found a perfect WiFi Access Point that can run at gigabit speeds for hours at a time with 5 – 10 devices on it please let me know. It would have saved me a lot of trouble!


For the full writeup with tons of pictures please see my post Wiring For High Speed Ethernet on San Fran Vic.

    when we run cable through homes,
    we either run siamese cat5 (2 cat5 in one bundle)

    or siamese cat5 with dual RG6 bundle to each location,
    we have many different types of bundles, and if you havent run them yet, it makes it way easier . .

    let me know if you need . .
