Greetings! Well the time has finally come and we are going to have workers tearing apart one of our houses. I'm taking advantage of the situation to get some network cables laid through the walls, but have a query.
The cable will be Cat5e (cat6 is WAY over the top... for my wallet that is!), solid core as they won't need to move around more than what will be necessary to fit them and will all have sockets (non penetrating as its solid cable).
My query lies here, the cable will (in the most part) be laid with electrical cables. I know, not a good idea. and no, they will not be perpendicular to the electrical cables either; they will most probably be nearly perfectly parallel. So, should I go for shielded cable or does it not really make a difference?
I've found 305m of unshielded solid from eBuyer for 25£ (inc vat) but can't seem to find anything good for shielded cable. I've calculate that I will need roughly 200 meters for the entire setup, 8 single RJ45 sockets and a 8-way (or two 4-way) sockets.
Ideas?
Shielded? Unshielded? Why? Where?
Thanks!
