Home Data Cabling

[swordsman]

I'm planning to have Data Cabling in our house. I don't know how this is implemented, but i guess each room should have an outlet/provision for data cable connection, so i can just plug in my data cable and surf the internet(thru my DSL connection) anywhere in the house. The data cabling will run thru the house along with the telephone and cable tv, in a common piping, i suppose.

So how is this implemented? Is there a switch somewhere that that will receive the single signal from the telephone, cable, and data(dsl signal) and distribute it thoughout the house? Is the switch just a splitter of signal or something more sophisticated?

Any tips or best practice for making this work with minimal problems? What type of cable/jack to use, to make it future proof a bit.

hmmm..as far as data cabling goes, yes, you will need a switch. for phone line, that depends on whether you just want to provide an extension from a single line, or have some sort of intercom/PBX setup. For tv/video a simple splitter should do.

data cabling -- RJ 45 jacks, CAT5/5e cabling, crimping tool(available at any pc shop)
phone caling -- RJ11 jacks, couplers, telephone wire, any hardware store

video cabling -- RG57(or was it 58?) coax cabling, jacks, splitters, crimping
tool, optional booster; any hardware store


imho, do look into wifi; even if you do provide an RJ45 outlet for each room, chances are you'll still need some patch cords to reach the table/bed/bathroom.

i also would recommend you to explore wifi which is cheaper to implement and maintain.

kasi pag cabled network ka, sooner or later, you will replace the UTP5 wires dahil minsan nadedegrade yan ng moisture. not to mention, minsan, nginangatngat pa yan ng daga.

sa voice, what i did sa house namin is i've installed intercom phones connected wirelessly. got the units sa japan (panasonic yung brand). pwede kang mag transfer ng calls from the base station to any wireless units/receivers around the house.

Anong model yan? Ilan units ang kasama? Pwede pang magdagdag ng units/handsets?

i really don't know the model, but when i got it, it includes the base model and one roving handset. tapos bumili pa ako ng two additional roving handsets.

yes, pwedeng magdagdag ng units hanggang 6 ata.

A so cordless phone talaga sya. Parang yung mga nasa newspaper ads ng Panasonic.

actually, since may renovation sa house, i'll have the contractor implement this. i just don't know how good he is at implementing something like this, or if he knows how at all.

wi-fi is also nice, and most likely will use it soon, in conjunction with the wired connection. i just want to have the data cabling implemented properly, since mag-re-renovate naman.

are there individual contractors specializing in implementing structured wiring? kung hindi man kayanin ng contractor ko?

[Syuryuken]

mag wireless lan ka na lang kesa cable.

[Jun aka Pekto]

If you value security, stick with RJ-45 and RJ-11 cabling for network connectivity. You can always add WiFi later.

i will soon. gusto ko sana conbination. sayang yong opportunity to install the cabling habang bubutasin yong walls ko e. hehe



here's an interesting link i found on the internet. problem lang is finding someone who can implement it properly(kung hindi familiar ang contractor ko) and where to buy the control box. i guess the upscale hotels have similar thing installed..

A typical home electrician should be able to install the CAT5 cabling in your home. That's what we had done at our office and my home some years ago. You can buy the RJ45 wall sockets at any hardware store these days.

Any modern day electricial worth his salt should be able to properly terminate the CAT5 cables at each of the RJ45 sockets. If not, ask a computer technician to do the actual cable terminations for you.

The advantage of a wired connection is the speed and security. A WiFi setup is inherenty insecure because it is still possible for people to peek into the data streaming in and out of your wireless link, even if you have implemented some wifi security protocols.

currently i have a wireless router installed sa house. no cables pare. mas madali pa
mag install. mas matrabaho kapag "wired" ang gagawin mong setup. dami pang
nakalatag na cables niyan. madami na naman murang wireless routers ngayon eh.

Meron naman trained for that field. some electrical contractors they dont have xperience for this field also some arhitec di rin nila include voice and data sa design. Check the design ng electrical contractor mo sometimes all voice port in parallel connection .:peace:

[mikmik316]

gumamit na po kayo ng Cat6 cable tutal lahat naman tayo papunta ng Gigabit LAN... A combination of Wireless N + Gigabit LAN ang magandang infrastructure mapabahay man o business

I will try to help
materials for voice, IP camera and data cabling: patch cord user side, Information outlet, faceplate, cat 5e cables, Patch panel , patch cord for cross connection, cable mangement,close cabinet, switch 10/100 (with POE for IP cam) for data and router ( if carrier provide modem/router good for you no need for router) and for voice if you need intercom ,door opener and you want to transfer your call you need PABX.
you can use cat 5e solution or cat 6 solution for gigabit connection.
How many outlet you going to install in your house?
in every phone, IPcam and data connection you have to layout individual wire using cat5e. If you going to install PABX dont use jacketed wire after short period of time you can hear noise in your line.EX. FM station

for CATV connection
staright connector, faceplate, RG6 connector, RG6 Cable,( ask your contractor for RG6 not RG58), Spliter, indoor amplifier, then Catv provider or satellite attena.
all outlet will be installed with individual wire going to termination box were catv will placed.
sana nakatulong or naka gulo lang lalo

If i was at the same stage, also would advise someone to explore wi-fi that's less expensive to help put into action and maintain.

kasi pag cabled community ka, in the end, you can swap the actual UTP5 cables dahil minsan nadedegrade yan ng moisture. let alone, minsan, nginangatngat pennsylvania yan ng daga.
