minus-squareNeat_Onion@alien.topBtoHome Automation•I am building a new house and I am trying to prewire as much as possible. If price was not an object what would you pre-wire?linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoUse CAT6 or even 6A. CAT8 is the latest standard, but it’s probably too expensive? Also consider running fiber optic between floors as a backhaul since 10G fiber switches are cheaper than cooper ones. Cameras are fine on 5E, but may as well CAT6. Run multiple random ceiling drops for APs and other home automation devices / sensors. linkfedilink
