Bill,

you need COAX for the cable TV and Cat5 ethernet for the high speed. The Coax can be looped and split, but the Cat5 needs to be a home run from the wall to the network switch.

Maybe I am mis-understanding something...
I have broadband (and telephone service)through my cable provider. Everyuthing comes in on the same coax cable. I can get either off of the same face plate, or put in a splitter and get both off of 1 face-plate. The only reason that I use any Cat 5 is to wire my network together after the cable modem. With multiple cable modems, you don't really need any network cable except from the modem to the computer (router, hub) itself.

all spliiters and connections shold be the standard RG6. the only thing that you need ot consider is if you amplifier. High speed won't work through an Amplifier for some reason.

that's fine for cable modems, but doesn't work on DSL, T-1, or Wireless. You only get one router. Also, having one modem going to a switch and then routing everything through the switch allows for easier print sharing and file swapping, as well as firewall control and such.

Best all-around is to home run all cables of any type. If you're using cable modem, don't put more than one splitter (preferably low loss) between cableco's feed and the modem or you'll get flaky connections.

Jeeze where have I been.

A) NEVER EVER EVER LOOP CATV "COAXIAL" CABLE!!!!

NEVER!

NO!

B) Use RG-6 or RG-6QS either will work.

C) If you want to use an amp with a cable modem, make sure you need an amp first, then secondly... buy an amp that's rated with a 5-42MHz return path. Otherwise... the amp prevents return signals from passing through.

D) always use 5-1000MHz rated splitters, regal is a great brand.

E) BE SMART! Use smurf tube to every outlet so you can switchout cable for years to come.

Avaya,

I agree with you on the smurf pipe, but not everyone will get a chance to put it in.

I personally didn't, nor wouldn't loop coax cable in my own house, but it is a common practice among track home builders. Even worse, they usually don't have to worry too much about looping the coax because the only put one run in!

LOL, I need to show my wife this thread.

She about shit when I ran all the RG6 in my house. I put 2 runs at each location and most rooms have 3 locations. also drug in a cat 3 and ca 5 to each location. Accept for my office , I have about 6 locations in there with double everything.

Yes, she thought I was crazy.
