When I had my burglar alarm system installed and the two video cameras set up they had to pull new wire up the wall in my office and all the way to the other end of the garage and another one to the front door. I told the installer that "while you are in there" pull a third wire up the wall" and right now it just goes up the wall to a 100 foot or more of a large spool of Cat5. I can always put a switch up there and have new Cat5 anywhere. The cameras both have a power over ethernet box on the individual cables. Wireless has it uses but cable still works better for some things.
The installers had a real fight to get the wire up the wall. When I set up my office with the desk against the east wall I wanted the coax cable on that wall. The cable company just wanted to drill a hole in the bricks and go down the wall outside. Screw that. I had the fun of laying on my belly in the attic on the rafters with my face in the insulation fishing a cable up the wall. The installers used my same location to pull the three other wires and it is a pretty tight location now. I think I am set now.
Good morning all.
