I know, I was lucky! Nothing worse than re-wiring old buildings. Good luck this arvo :badpc: |

| 848190 | 2010-01-13 03:52:00 | Hi, I have lived in a place at uni where they had RJ45 jacks on the wall . Let's say someone does the hardwork in wiring them . Yep - that was me . I installed half of Akld Unis network cables and stuff . Are these connected to a hub? Yes . And floor switches . And a building switch . And so on . . . . . . . |

| 848191 | 2010-01-13 04:47:00 | Have been doing mine as we decorate each room since I can run all cables in the garage. To change to cat 6 just use the old cables as draw wires | gary67 (56) | ||
| 848192 | 2010-01-13 05:01:00 | CAT6 is not really necessary as CAT5e can do gigabit speeds if you have terminated correctly. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 848193 | 2010-01-15 01:23:00 | How much do people charge to do the wiring to an existing house? Let's say just the lounge, dining room and 3 bedrooms. Rough price. Folks are not computer literate so maybe we can do just with 2 rooms wired, easier enough to do myself. Upstairs and directly downstairs with the router placed in the conservatory which happens to be in a split floor between the two. Hey, what happens if for argument sake, it is a small flat, with a flat roof where there is no attic. How do you wire the cables within the walls? Cheers |

| 848194 | 2010-01-15 01:40:00 | Ps, renovating kitchen so thought it would be a good time do to the network wiring too. :D If so can disable the wireless on my crap Linksys and be done with it. They want to convert the stove top to gas (burner) and put a proper rangehood above the oven to punch a hole in roof or wall to expel it out. Redo some of the old kitchen cabinets too, had it since we got the home and that is like 60yrs old. New kitchen sink and one that does not block with the old insinkerator. | Nomad (952) | ||

Cheers Personally when I wire up a place, its my normal hourly rate for labor, which is $80 +gst . ( + materials) Some places you feel like charging more as the crap (literately) you have to crawl through on your guts or shuffle along dragging a box of cable . I say crawl, as a normal house its sometimes easier to run cables under the floor, and clip along the floor joists (if there's enough room to get under there) that way the exit jacks can be placed at floor level, instead of having to drill down through walls, studs etc . I'm not exactly a big person and some of the places I have had to go :eek: ground either wet, or puddles under the house, cats and dogs been under there :groan: One place had about 100 mm deep of water all under the house - I refused to do it . One place the lady told me there was plenty of room under the house (cool) get there, and WTF About 300mm from the ground to the bottom of the floor joists, and a hole in the side of the building, about the same square -- You got to be kidding !!! We went wireless :rolleyes: If its a concrete wall, OR you cant get inside the walls, I normally run a plastic duct about 15mm Sq that will take 3 cables . Something like This ducting ( . imagef1 . net . nz/files/trunking_family . jpg" target="_blank">www . imagef1 . net . nz) if done correctly (tidy) and in the right places, you hardly notice it . |

| 848196 | 2010-01-15 03:05:00 | If one is going from the top to down ... inside the walls, how does one drill holes in those frames? Say bedroom 1 is directly above bedroom 2, hey put a cable directly in the walls doing down. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 848197 | 2010-01-15 03:10:00 | Ducting, I am guessing one still need to go through walls, cos how you get thru a door way with closed doors. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 848198 | 2010-01-15 03:15:00 | Question 18 ---- Very long drill bit (serious) I have speed bits , 10mm, 12 that are 406mm in length and hole saw set (for floors / Multi Cables, eg:several cables to one exit point). I try to avoid going down inside walls, as its drilling blind and god knows what you may hit, once you get to the end of the drill length, you add on an attachments to extend it. Imagine an oil drilling rig , they add on more lengths of pipe as they go down. If you have to come down a wall from the roof, you can still do ducting, it butts against the roof, small hole to allow cable through and if possible put it "out of the way". If its a painted wall its even better, paint the duct the same color, and its almost invisible.. Thats why I prefer under the floor, no doors generally :p . |
