Question on Home Internet Wiring with Cat5e/Cat6

I just re-arranged my family room and need to re-route the internet wiring.

I have 3 devices: Projector, Stereo, and Blueray player. Do I need to use a separate cable for each device (which I can do) or is there something that can be on one end that splits one wire into 3 outputs.

Before your questions/comments: I want my stuff hardwired vs wireless. My router has output for 8-10 items. I prefer hardwiring because I have, on occasion, had my stereo start working intermittently during a party when others are signed onto my wireless. My router allows me to give priority to my devices and will cut off visitors before me. Lastly, I have to crawl into the attic anyway so 3 wires is just as bad as one but I thought I would ask.
