Hi all,
New to the forum and just bought a house.
Looking for advice on what tools I might need and any tips or tricks for installing network outlets.
The house I bought is a 1980 California split level (tri-level). It appears when built it was prewired for Cable TV, phone and 300 ohm twinlead for TV (all separate outlets). All these cables appear to run up into the ceiling somewhere, I've not had look in the ceiling yet to make sure, but I sure cant find any evidence of these cables anywhere else.
All the rooms I want network outlets in are the upper levels in places where I should be-able to drill down to the level below which will come out into the garage (unlined ceiling), or the crawl space under the lounge.
What I'd like to do is use the existing Cable TV/twin-lead outlets and install new wall plates, and run the cables back to a patch panel in the garage.
Thanks!
