Re: My addition will take almost 2 miles of Cat 6 said by alkizmo:Actually no, they'll be on WiFi even with your picture proving wired > wireless. It's not like the washing machine will need to download/upload a 1080p copy of Avatar.
But that could be a major interference problem if one is in a apartment/condo complex and everyone in it has one.

Doing this stuff on a commercial/industrial scale makes 10K feet look pretty low-end 
You can easily hit 100K...a full facility like a hospital will be in the 1M range no problem. Which is good--it's work 
I only have 2 Cat5e/2 RG-6 to our 2 bedrooms, 2 Cat5e/3 RG-6 to living room, and more in the basement. And yeah, those are nowhere near sufficient. Of course, it's a rental townhouse...whoever moves in after we leave this spring should be pleasantly surprised. |

Wifi technology will adapt.

I have a DIR-655 router (which isn't even dual band), and I've streamed HD video alongside computer use with no problems. Then again, I don't have 17 Xboxes, 36 computers and 6 printers running simultaneously alongside the HD video.
For me, the convenience wins. Maybe I just don't have high demands of my equipment... but to each their own. |

said by alkizmo:Wifi technology will adapt. It'll be too little too late. Around here, channels 8+ are completely unusable due to noise/interference, and there are well over a dozen access points within range on channels 1-7. Everyone's constantly having their devices kicked off for one reason or another. It's generally not too bad, but can be really annoying if you're in the middle of a game or streaming a movie or something. 5GHz "N" has been out for years now but the devices which support it are few and far between. 802.11ac is gonna do jack shit due to the sheer number of channels they're talking about bonding (it'll be just as congested as 2.4GHz is now).
said by alkizmo:But you'll never see a fridge with RJ45. Where technology is concerned, never say never. Or are you trying to say they'll skip the puny copper and go right to fiber?

Your information is apparently already a decade out of date. While I do agree it's more likely wireless (802.11 or otherwise) will be more mainstream with kitchen appliances, never say never until doing a quick search. |

Considering the low cost of small, unmanaged gigabit switches these days, I would never run so many cables to the same room. A couple of jacks is enough, then a network switch if any more are needed.
Hint: you can get a 5-port gigE switch for $20. Probably cheaper than the cost of those 26 redundant runs of CAT6! |

I have better things to do in the bedroom that doesn't require 28 cat 6 and 12 RG-6 coax in four locations. One location is sufficient. |

You are 100% right there. I am currently using MOCA in almost every room and have a 4 port switch there. With all of the HD Video streaming and whatever else, There has never been a speed issue... And the cost was less then 50 bucks per room |

HAHAHAHAHA In a BEDROOM?? WHAT IN THE WORLD is your justification for this??? HTPC, internet-connected TV, video game console, some type of net enabled STB/ruku/etc, networked AV receiver. For satellite two runs for satellite and a 3rd for OTA. And all those things are needed more or less at the same spot with a typical setup.
Yes a switch can enable all the networking on one outlet. And I believe that all the satellite TV can be run on a single coax now (but I may be wrong). So I could see a possible use for 6+3 outlets. Now I think that many on every wall is excessive. Especially in a bedroom. Maybe on opposite walls would be a little easier to swallow. But it's not my money...
If I was building a house, a drop on each wall would be nice of 2 coax and two network. Or at a minimum, a smurftube where a run could be ran down the road after the walls sealed up. For a living room or very large room that is likely to be rearranged, or for one that has multiple doorways, a fireplace, or other design where cables can not easily be routed just along the floorboards, then multiple larger drops would be nice. |

said by pike:"Not believing in using wifi" is a preference with no empirical data backing it up. Also you're missing out on one of the biggest selling points of the Apple TV: AirPlay.
I think there is data to back it up. Multiple streams of HD are problematic for a wireless network. I have an InfiniTV in my computer with a couple of Xboxes as extenders and recently have added a couple of Ceton Echos. The Xboxes don't really like wireless and the new Echos are hardline only. Why mess with multiple wireless devices for something like TV when the wired solution is problem free?
Regardless of what they call it, you can't watch live TV on Apple TV.  |

1999, you can imagine it was RJ45.
But the point being is: We won't see it go that way. These fridges were mad-science internet boom attempts at marketing junk. The reality of things is that we won't see technology evolve where appliances can connect to the web and need RJ45. RJ45 isn't a functional connectivity method for the typical home, WIFI is.
Broadband is another topic all together. |

said by pandora:Each of my kids has 1 Xbox 360, 1 PS3 (bc with PS2), 1 wii, 1 PC, and 1 smart TV, 1 wired VOIP device, 1 network connected DVR, in addition to 1 laptop (often used wirelessly), 1 tablet (also wireless). Some kids have a small network printer / scanner.
I can't be certain where the kids will want their stuff to plug in. Only active ethernet cables need to be connected to a switch. It is possible the majority of cables will be unused for long periods of time.
I'm very tired of messy 8 port unmanaged switches sitting on the floor in a room. They not only are an eyesore, but they take a power slot.
Wait so each kid has that right? Ok I get it know, with that much cable you must be the Duggars

kudos:1 | I find it interesting that people don't understand the reason for multiple connections in a room (not that the OP hasn't gone to an extreme). I have rent houses which have two or three Cat5 in some bedrooms. Not all rooms have only one way to arrange the furniture. Much easier to put in a few extra so you can put the bed where ever you want instead of "well, the bed has to be here because the TV can only be over there". The time to do it is when the walls are open. The price of copper is the cheap part of the process. |
