One thing I've always wanted to do was run network cable in my home. When my wife and I finally bought our first house, I was finally given the opportunity! My vision is to run network cable throughout the entire house including the home office and bedrooms. In it's current state, I only have runs going into the home office, but when the need for physical connections is required, I will start pulling more runs through. Here's some of pictures of my project.
Equipment
In order to perform this project, I needed some equipment. Below is a list of items that I used in order to accomplish my task:
- Network Cable (Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6, whatever you prefer)
- Crimper
- Push/Pull rods
- RJ-45 and Keystone Jack
- Cat5e wall plate
- Patch Panel
- Network Switch
- Network Cable Tester
