Home Network Design
Wednesday, November 1st, 2006When the house burnt down in April 2006, it was a catastrophe. Fortunately we were very well insured and the house has been rebuilt and we financially didn’t loose anything and I had the opportunity to create a real network. Real network for me means 54G wireless, Fiber vertical cabling and Cat6 horizontal cabling.
Some call me crazy but as all the walls were open, I installed 1” orange tubing network around the house.
I got a new office, that was a kid’s bedroom on the main floor and I used the closet as a technical room. I’d enough space to place a 7’ rack and I could bring tubing from the top and bottom of the closet behind the rack. Each room receives at least 2 conduits with a special sub-closet for the kitchen/earth room area where 5 tubes are running from. The basement, not finished for now but has already a sub-closet.
Crazy may be but now each room is equipped with fiber, GiGE, cable and receive enough 54G wireless to watch a movie.
