each room will also receive a RJ 45 socket, because its mandatory in France

do you know what the legislation specifies for the cable type that lies behind the RJ 45 socket (Cat7 is the rumoured new data link)?

Greetings Peter Pan

Greetings,

I'm about to renovate and am installing CAT7 - at this stage it simply replaces the ML cable and runs as a "standard" ML setup would run. I'll be connecting the CAT7 cable to ML wall sockets (not RJ45 at this time). However, I'll be running additional / multiple cable runs to a central location in order to take advantage of future hybrid analogue / digital transmissions and eventually, fully IP-based digital schemes.

B&O training is underway - or so I understand. One question I have asked of my B&O contacts is whether the CAT7 cable is to be the 600MHz or 1200MHz variant. The 5-second answer is obviously 1200MHz but I'll confirm before I commit to buy my first reel of CAT7. 500m of CAT7 - here I come!

I have my CAT7 installed. From a central location, multiple cables run to the study, garage and family room - 4 RJ45s to the study, 8 RJ45s to the family room, 2 RJ45s to the garage. In addition, another CAT7 runs to each of these locations as a dedicated ML run, for a ML wall socket to be installed. My passive link is to be located at the "hub", or central location.

For less then A$2 per metre, I've also run 6 cores of 62.5um optical fibre. If the CAT7 isn't enough, the fibre will blow it away!!

Still connections and configurations to be done, but getting closer to the final objective.

I take it you live in Australia?
Did you do this yourself, or did you get an installer?

Yep - in Australia.

No installer required - I've run the CAT7 and optical fibre (as well as RG6 antenna) while the framing was open (no wall or ceiling linings) all back to the back of the integrated garage where the "hub" will be located. I'm using R&M RJ45 connectors for CAT7. I've bundled all of the CAT7, optical fibre and antenna cables together and wherever possible, run them as far away from power cables as I can.

The R&M RJ45 connectors require no tooling to install - they'll be a bit of a fiddle, but I don't need any special tools to crimp the wires. They also come with white plastic adapters to fit a standard Australian Clipsal 4-gang wall plate to give me four network points. The optical fibre will sit there for a while until I work out what I want to do with it.

Inside my hub, I'm yet to install a patch panel frame, but I'll do that later. I'm going to use a standard blank Clipsal wall plate and try my hand with a Dremel tool to fit the MasterLink socket.

great !

Thanks :-)

I don't suppose you took any pictures of "work in progress" ?

Might be interesting for folks ... start a new thread "Installations I have know ..." 😂

I installed some Cat 5 going from HDMI in the lounge room to HDMI in the bedroom.  Now i can watch foxtel in the bedroom :-)
