Hi Guys!
I'm almost done buying a new home and need to start thinking about networking.
In my current house I have CAT5e running throughout. In the new house I want to up the game a bit as I'm likely to be in the new house for 10+ years so I want to ensure that i put in cabling that is as future proof as possible.
I've looked into CAT7 but its very pricey but CAT6a isn't too bad. With that in mind I have a couple of questions:
When i buy face plates do they need to be rated for Cat6a or are they all generic?
Where is a good place to buy the cable in the UK? I used to buy cabling from Ebay but I've not been too happy with the quality of some of the sellers. I would rather pay a little extra and get quality.
Also what is booted, unbooted and fully booted? I've seen it on a few sites selling cabling?
Many thanks for your advice.
Chris
