We are in the process of building a new house and I'm doing the low voltage wiring myself. I had planned on doing the electrical too, but decided I don't have the time. Wise move – I'm racing to get just the low voltage stuff done before the drywallers are ready to start. Anyway, after two days of sunup to sundown wiring, I started dreaming about it.
I am almost finished installing the coax cable for the house. I ordered some RG6U cable over the internet. To my surprise the cable is white, not the standard black. I do not care, so long as it is sufficient to transmit satellite feeds over it.
I have installed the coax away from all electrical lines. However, I am wondering if I can install my network cable (Cat 6e) alongside the coax cable without any problems. Does anyone know the answer to this?
I remember those days. I remember playing so much Age of Empires that my sleep was haunted with all these little people demanding my attention. After two nights of extremely restless sleep, I had to quit playing for about a week to let my brain normalize.
That shouldn't be a problem. In point of fact, you can even wire it close to 110 volt
wiring as long as the wiring is 12awg or better (these new constructions with 14awg really drive me nuts!)
As for rewiring houses, the first house I owned, I extensively remodelled. This included rewiring. I over engineered that house to a ridiculous degree (1200 sq ft with over 600 feet of wire)
But I never, ever blew a breaker!
