Re: New house: cat5e/cat6 type for wiring?

I would have to agree running cat 3 is a waste. If you go looking around Cat 5e is often the same price as cat 3, or cheaper. Cat 3 is a special order around here.. No one uses it anymore.

If you live in a traditional small wood frame 1 or 2 story house I would still use a fire rated cable... however in a lot of area's fire rated cable is only required in MDU's, commercial/industrial, or concrete/steel buildings .

East Lansing, MI		 Many municipalities have changed their regulations to require that all low-volt use Plenum/fire-rated rated cable for all new installs. In our area, all work permitted after Sept 1 of this year requires it.

That's strange interesting. So low-voltage wiring needs to be Plenum rated but power wiring using Romex is PVC. There is a lot more insulation in a Romex cable then Cat rated cable.
