Home Data Cabling

[Dr.Kamiya]

Like the OP says he will be using wired in conjuction with wireless. I tend to agree with that, there are applications na hindi kaya ng wireless.

One of the best uses for a data network is to have pictures, movies and video on your computer, and UPnP players at your living room, TV room and even bedrooms to play back the media on your stereo or big-screen TV. Para wala nang disc-juggling, saka lahat ng media available sa lahat ng kwarto mo.

If you have a computer with windows Vista, for instance you can play back movies and pictures stored from there on your Xbox360, (or similarly, iTunes to Apple Video) but if you have more than one room with a 360, or medyo malayo yung 360 sa computer mo video will get choppy over WiFi, lalo na kung high resolution yung video.

I tried the same thing using a modified 1st gen Xbox with XBMC, to stream video to a TV. Over a wireless adapter hindi na kaya direct DVD images (DVD video needs about 10.55Mb/sec, typical wireless-G data rate over 30 feet is just 2.5Mb/sec). HD-DVD and Blu-Ray movies can have bandwidth rates up to 25Mb/sec.
