Installing Ethernet at Home: 2 Floors, 0 Problems
Hi everyone!
I like keeping logs of projects I do at home, and I also like sharing that with others who might find them interesting. In this video, I briefly go over how I installed category 5e ethernet cables to two different rooms/floors. Primarily, I did this to establish a reliable link between my home server (video coming soon, or eventually... maybe... haha), gaming PC, and bedroom TV. I don't want a long foreword in this description, so I'll say that this took a lot longer than I expected; however, your mileage will vary if you try it yourself! Anyway, let me drop some links to the tools and supplies shown in the video:
1. Gigabit switch (https://goo.gl/h58BdP)
2. Drywall knife/saw (https://goo.gl/wf9LgK)
3. Fish tape for running cables (https://goo.gl/j6RSvH)
Seriously, you shouldn't need anything longer than 25 feet!
4. Drywall compound: don't bother with the smaller tubs, because you will need a lot and the joint compound products usually spread easier!
5. Ethernet cable termination tool (https://goo.gl/pBTceR)
6. Flex bit for drilling in tights spots (https://goo.gl/b4yTgB)
7. Wall faceplate for any variety of cables (https://goo.gl/oEXYJ4)
Let me know in the comments below if I've missed something! The cost of this kind of project is low in terms of dollars, but it may take more than one weekend depending on your situation :)
Many thanks to Bensound for the music! Check out his site at http://www.bensound.com and enjoy!
Cheers and good luck,
Jim
