Cat 5 attic to basement.

Photos 1 4 show how to cut out a stud space and mount the distribution panel. We opened up the stud space within a few inches of the ceiling and floor to mount the distribution box and to fish the cables photo 2. It is best if you have a helper who can listen for where the wire is inside the wall. I ve never seen a house with a basement.

For single floor homes with a basement the basement may be the best path. Go to where you want to install your security cameras such as attic soffit basement or crawlspace and drill a hole in the top or bottom wall plate in the same wall cavity. The problem is turning two corners to get from a to b. I d like to follow the coax with cat 5.

Speaking of which i ve never lived in a house with a real basement. Running wire from attic to basement. My cable tv is distributed through the attic so it seemed like a good solution to run my home network through there as well. Also i found a route from basement to attic next to the gas pipe is it ok to run wire next to it cable and cat 5.

The drop from the attic to room a is relatively simple. Drop one from the attic and poke one up from the basement photo 6. Attach the wires with the fish tape to fish your security camera wires. No crawlspace or basement.
