Two story rambler/ranch full basement, unfinished.
I am going to run Cat 6 cable from the control box where power comes in from the outside to my kitchen where my computer is and will need a few things. This is where you guys come in, I want to do it correctly and as well as it can be done.
I have 1000 feet of Cat 6 I bought some time ago at an auction ($10.00). Other then the cable I don't have any connectors, wall plates, crimping tool, whatever! I also need the junction box used where the outside wire connects to the inside wire. There must be better ones available then what my house came with (don't know the name of this item)
My basement is unfinished so this is the time to wire it up before it is completed. Everything will be 1KMb/s capable unless you guys know of a faster speed that's now available and not expensive.
Please correct me and give me options on anything you think I should do or know.
I intend to use Leviton (open for suggestions) wall plates and their snap in connectors, most seem to like them, I don't have a pair of crimping pliers so I need a recommendation on a pair that does a good crimp job. I've used cheap tools before to do things and usually that's what one ends up with, a cheap looking job.
If you know the best place to buy the things I need, please don't hesitate to inform me.
