wiring my house with CAT5
I have wireless, but there are somethings like my Dreamcast and original xbox that are not happy with. I am also setting up a media center back end that needs wired. Anyways I already have one cable running in my attic, so that is not a problem, I know how to do that part. My problem lies in the wall mount I want to install. Basically as of now I have two ends of my cat5 cable hanging out of two walls. Rather than splice and put together a wall mount, I am trying to find a "dual sided wall mount". I dont know what that would actually be called, but that is the best way for me to describe it. I have been able to find them for phone lines, but I can't seem to find ethernet cables. Basically it is where the end of the cable in the wall just jacks into a female cat5 port, and on the other side of the wallmount there is also a female cat5 port. This would make my life a lot easier, as I hate splicing and wiring that stuff. I can't seem to find this anywhere though. Does anyone know where I can get a wall mount/plate like this so I dont have to try so hard. Thanks!

Re: wiring my house with CAT5
Honestly Cat5 is only 8 wires (iirc). It's pretty hard to get it wrong.

Re: wiring my house with CAT5
cool, thanks. I saw these at radioshack last night, but they were a bit expensive. I think I saw em at fry's electronics though which would have em a lot cheaper if I did see em there. I'll check it out, thanks!

Just make sure you don't use crossover cable instead of standard CAT5.
