I am building a new house and I am trying to prewire as much as possible. If price was not an object what would you pre-wire?
Currently, I have my house being set up for Lutron RA2 lights
Putting 18/2 for speakers in each rooms
One cat5e by each room for a tablet/intercom
Cat5e for cameras
22/2 for Door/window contacts by all exterior doors and windows
smurftube by every room (where the intercom is for future growth).
18/2 by windows where I may want power shades.
What else am I missing?
Thank you
Use CAT6 or even 6A. CAT8 is the latest standard, but it’s probably too expensive?
Also consider running fiber optic between floors as a backhaul since 10G fiber switches are cheaper than cooper ones.
Cameras are fine on 5E, but may as well CAT6.
Run multiple random ceiling drops for APs and other home automation devices / sensors.
