Could I buy 16 port ethernet patch panel and wire phones and ethernet exactly the same? Then I could just connect phones using RJ45 to RJ11 cables.

Anyone know where I can buy cat 7 cable on a reel and gg45 terminators?

I thought you can get 10Gb over cat6a with runs under 100m?

Thank you. Are there any advantages to running cat 7 cables in a house? Do they give any extra bandwidth over short runs?

I am planning to wire phone/broadband and ethernet throughout the house. That means 7 ethernet and 8 phone points (1 master). What I am getting is cat-6a cable for ethernet and cat-5 for the phone as well as relevant connectors. Each socket will have both ethernet and phone snap-in connector...

whats the alternative? pendant light in the middle of the room?

Are there any general thoughts on these as to whether its better to get a separate fan and spotlight or combine them in one big slightly ugly package.

Thanks, on the other side is a cavity (polybead filled).

We have ended up stripping all the old lime plaster in our 1930s house and are now wondering whether to dry line or float the walls. Preference is to use bonding plaster rather than dryline but the question is whether that is going to cause problems down the line. There seems to be some...

I am trying to find where I can order fairly large roof "lights" - dimensions of around 2200mm long and 800mm wide. I would like these joined in groups of 3 and installed on the roof of the house. They don't have to open but they do have to have good insulation value (e.g. triple glazed). They...

Thanks very much for all the replies. Steve I can't access that page - says I need to register and be a customer first (which seems a lot of hassle). With these sort of modern LEDs, are there any rules as to how far apart do you space them to get a decent light - both in kitchen and in...

Thanks for that. Does the wiring regulation accept that and provide specific exception or still expect to provide 100 (or 50W) per light? Also, noticed that those are 12V lights? Not to start another topic, but I didn't see any advantage in having those over 240V other than having to replace...

You are probably right - he was just probably giving me an example that I could put in a 50W halogen and overload it. Its still the same problem.

Funnily enough I did ask electrician if there are any fittings like that. He said no.

We are currently having the entire house re-wired and as part of that having downlights in the kitchen and dining area. What is being installed is line voltage GU10 mounts with energy efficient downlights - likely LEDs drawing around 3-4W each. The problem is that my electrician is sizing the...

We are midway through renovating a 1930s house and currently have booking for bead type cavity wall insulation on external walls in the house. The problem is that later on we are planning to replace the external doors and door frames which have gone rotten (including a large front door)...
