CAT6 cabling around the house would be an incredibly useful thing to have especially for someone who works at home a lot in the IT industry and needs superfast, reliable connections to the internet.
My plan is to bring the Virgin Media cable into the house at the corner of the Lounge and front extension. This cable will need to be split multiple ways (and put in place prior to Virgin Media turning up with their outside box).
One of the "splits" will lead into the Cable Modem (in the Lounge) which will have an ethernet cable out the back of it into a router/switch.
From here, cables will run to each room in the house that requires an ethernet patch in the wall - the bedrooms, back sitting room and study (which will get TWO wires).
Unfortunately, the wiring must all be routed back to a central location. It's not like electrical wiring which affords us the opportunity to create a "loop" around the house.
Anyway, the diagram shows the Virgin Media cable coming in, and the 7 cables leading to the various rooms around the house.
Next up - the video cabling system!
