Features, Office If all goes well, this summer I'll be building a new house. I've owned a few houses before, some of them built in the 1920s and 30s, and full of all the charm and quirks of an old house, and a couple that were pretty new, with the lack of craftsmanship and imagination that's typical in most new construction in the USA today. But this time I'm building a custom home, just to my specifications, so I can have whatever features I want, limited only by my imagination (and budget). I'd like to integrate some home automation features into the house, and include wiring for future expansion.

Wires

So you wire your house with cat6e..great so when something better comes out in 3-5 years you are stuck with old wireing built into the house. I think the best this to do is run conduit behind the wall to boxes. That what you can yank all the old stuff out and replace it with whatever the future holds maybe tera-bit fiber.
