[thread derail]Nothing wrong with punch down block as long as they are 110, not 66 blocks. 110s should be Cat6 certified. Just cross connect your data lines to a patch panel as needed. Patch panels don't work well for POTS connections due to the shared nature. Patch panels are best for point to point data connections.[/td]

That's not a punch down block, that's a "home automation" piece of crap home builders use.
These are cat6 punch down blocks...

Sure enough the cable guy comes and is like "nope I'm not certified for that, you have to schedule it with someone else". So we're just hooked up on the other outlet and the wires run in front of the fireplace for now. I figure, since I have to do the RG6, the Cat5, and some surround speaker wiring, I was just going to do it myself if I couldn't talk the cable guy my GF knows into doing it for us. And Dean, I'm just going to stick with the Leviton crap. I've got the box in my closet, and while the stuff's overpriced for what you get, it's at least a unified solution that works. I don't need a crazy production level wiring closet... just need to route my wall outlets to a router/cable modem.

Oh, and the Leviton punch downs are 110's, not 66's. Though I don't know what the difference is.

I went and picked up all the crap I need to wire the house... then climbed up into the attic and realized that with all the spray-in insulation, I'm not going to be able to do the wiring myself without dying halfway through from an asthma attack. Plus, it's damn near impossible for me to fit anywhere up there (too tall) and I can't easily figure out were the existing wires are running to begin with... so I think I need to get some more experienced help on the job. Kavid, are you interested in doing some wall fishes, or do you know anyone you can recommend? I'm willing to pay the prevailing rates for this sort of work, and I've got all the cable and hardware already for the job. I figure I need 2 wall fishes: one in the garage (1 RG6 wire, and 1 CAT5 wire), and one in the living room (two RG6 wires, two CAT5 wires, plus some speaker wire run from the old TV location to the new), and I figure while I'm getting cable pulled all over the place, I should run 4 RG6 lines from the roof eve to the wiring box so when I switch to satellite I've already got the cable in place.

Let's set something up for early next week? Say Monday or Tuesday late afternoon and you can come by to take a look at the place? I'll PM you!

Awesome. What's that got to do with cable TV, and speaker wire?

So you "need" some TV and speaker wire and you figure, might as well run "CAT5" at the same time? CAT5 is so 2001.

Dude, the house is already 90% wired with CAT5 which easily supports Gigabit bandwidth. What the hell do I need to go spend $$ on CAT6 for when Kavid already hooked me up with half a roll of CAT5?
Name one single tangible benefit to CAT6 in my home.
