        usually you plan first THEN purchase parts
        Better to let one think you are a fool, than speak and prove it

          yeah, I have planned it

          I have three options when routing the cables, I can't see which one will be best until it try.

          Stuff should arrive tomorrow

              Cheers! Unfortunately their nearest store is 40M away and their website doesn't support ordering.

              As the patch panel has 16 ports, i'll run 16lengths of cable to the attic, from there I can choose exactly where to place the output (f at all). This way I will have lots of options for the future. The problem is, that as I only have one length of cable, I'm gonna have to cut the cable into lengths so that I can pull it though it one go. I am worried that I will make a mistake at this point.

                Got a special "cable puller" or sth? ie a cable technicians use to pull the other cables.

                      I've got all the parts now.

                      I'm still not 100% sure on how to route the cables, but I'm not going to know what's possible until i go for it.

                      The shower leaked today and water has come through to above the patch room, so i guess now is a good time to rip the shower floor up and stat laying them cables

                      Essentially, I am waiting for some assistence from my mates before I start

                      Cheers for the interest!

                          hehe My father-in-law is coming over tonight to inspect the damage... If the shower needs replacing, then we are going to refit the ensuite. I can lay the cable before I put down the new floor

                          I think its probably gonna be two weeks before its all completed

                              working nights atm.. I am hoping to do it friday/sat/sun.

                              I am less optimistic about running the cables through the walls now... I will start with the Coax as it should be an easier job as there is already cable in situ.

                              I am still awaitin my structural engineer/electrician to pop over and help me choose the best route.

                              Thanks for the interest!

                                It's all self-interest, but you knew that, didn't you?
