Wouldn't regular Cat6 be better? Fully supports 10GB network speeds and not as a pain to crimp as Cat6A. Join youtube.com/watch?v=AQZl-78pnEQ on Fastr Chat.

    I love the idea of future proofing. Something about that feeling of "I don't have to ever do this again" in the moment which is nice. And then you sell the house a year later... 🙃

    In Germany any house that has network cabling in the walls uses Cat7 cables. But we build our homes out of stone and / or reinforced concrete as well. So I guess different philosophies when building....

    Regular Cat6 would have been my go to in this situation. Some glow rods and string would take all the fun of climbing out of this.

    Elijah is such a great co-host. He’s really come into his own.

    My take is if you're gonna be tearing down your walls you might as well make sure you won't do it again. The extra cable cost doesn't even move the needle. Now if you are not going that far Cat 5e is...

    Can I just say the chemistry of Elijah and Linus is so good. Like god tier dad and son

    Kind of strange to compare Cat5e and Cat6a without considering regular old Cat6. This is a pretty small home, so the range difference (10GbE @ 55m vs 100m) isn't going to be a problem, and you can bu...

    Pro tip for wire runs. String, 1/2" nutt, sling shot. Tie nut to string. Shoot nut to desired location. Attach string to wire and pull. Sounds crazy, but it saves so much time and crawling (or ladder...

    In Germany the standard cable to use is dual cat7a cable in walls and it's terminated with a puncher, because thats way more futureprove redundant and reliable. It also has to be in conduit to be abl...

    I think the most important thing is using conduit where possible so you can change out for whatever new type of wire you might need in the future

    100% letting Elijah and Linus into my house. best duo of all time they could do anything

    Meanwhile, in Germany, the DIN 18015-1 standard stipulates that communication cables be installed in conduits to ensure they can be replaced. Incidentally, I see nothing but Cat 6 or even Cat 7 almos...

    Someone needs to come along once the house is sold, tear down the walls and record a video judging the cable management :D
