[QUOTE="zg3409, post: 811574, member: 378078"] Run cat 6 and a seperate phone wire. In this way they can have both a phone line and an ethernet connection. Where all the Cat 6 cables meet you would need access to the internet, so ideally the main phone line into the building would also arrive at the central point. If they intend using cable TV for the internet provider e.g. UPC then this would need to be at the central point. In theory if it's too late you can combine a phone line and a Cat5 on the one cable. It will be limited to 100Mb. 2 wires are used for phone line and 4 wires are used for internet. If you want 1000Mb internet then you need to use all 8. You can feed one pair to the phone outlet and wire the other two pairs as per online guides. Ideally run 2 Cat5 cables if cost is not an issue. [/QUOTE]
