Please log in for more thread options I have a customer who just bought an existing house that has a basic structured wiring system installed. Unfortunately, the previous owner had the basement finished using drywall on the ceiling. Any tips on adding new cables to the system without taring up the drywall would be appreciated. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Unfortunately they want to add video/coax outlets, not data. When I couldn't get there soon enough, they setup a wireless network as a temporary solution for Internet sharing. When I told them that a wired solution would not benefit them in terms of Internet connection speed, they decided to make the wireless permanent. Is there any possibility of using the existing UTP (currently wired for telephone only) for video distribution? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Yes, use the phone cable as fishtape for a coax and CAT5 bundle. (sorry) Look it the gadget catalogs for wireless video solutions. -- a d y k e s @ p a n i x . c o m Don't blame me. I voted for Gore. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The actual solution will depend on whether you are going to be transmitting a high frequency TV signal or a low frequency video signal. The latter is a bit easier to implement using a pair of inexpensive baluns (one sample of video baluns is linked from this page: http://www.cabling-design.com/helpdesk/) TV distribution, although possible is not without limitations - you can only send the first 50 channels or so due to high frequency attenuation profile of a CAT5 cable.
