If I want to do my own ethernet runs through a 80 square meter apartment, is there anything I should be aware of in regards to signal speed? And are there any choices I can make that will make life easier in the future, if I want to change it up for some reason? e: same questions for co-ax cable in case I want to move the modem

Twerk from Home posted:Cat 6a should be fine. Cat 7 is a weird offshoot standard, cat 8 is expensive and stiff and you shouldn't use it, you should use fiber if you need more than 6a can deliver. Ahh yeah, I asked the guy at the electronics store what cat 7 was for and his answer was basically that some people wanted the cable with the highest number

Subjunctive posted:“life easier in the future”: run conduit if you can, and a run of pulling line alongside the cable if you can’t, so you can more easily get updated/additional cable along there later Thanks, this is a great idea. I'll put some thought into whether it makes sense within the existing floor plan. Unfortunately the outward facing walls are a bitch to drill through, there's probably an air gap somewhere in all that concrete and brick but I have yet to find it. Eletriarnation posted:Cat6 is fine out to 55m for 10G, so unless you have a huge house you don't really need to spring for 6A. It might not be a substantial cost increase in your case, but when I got 10 drops put in my house (e: in 2017) it was going to be either ~$900 for Cat6 or 1500 for 6A. It was unclear if 6A would ever have any benefit, so I stuck with 6. Thanks for this! Whatever I do will be within that length anyways.
