Networking HT - Blu-ray Forum

needsumhelp13 · 05-04-2009, 01:15 PM

Maybe the wrong forum for this if so I apologize (Please point in the right direction). I have noticed that Tv's (Samsung) have started including connection to your network though a Cat cable. So I was thinking of including running some Cat 6 cable though my house when putting together my Home Theater. I figure this would give a stronger connection to PS3, 360 etc... So my question is what exactly would I need besides a good amount of cat6 cable. Are there specific connection for the wall jacks? Any help/tips is appreciated. Thanks

you can buy wall plates from home depot called leviton. these are normal sized wall plates but have square holes in them so that you can then buy whatever adapter you need to fill in the blank spots. they make inserts for cat5, cat3, cable, rca, speaker, and im sure they they make component and hdmi. for the cat5 you are running you will punch the right colored pair to the color coding on the wall plate adapter the you snap it into the wall plate. it really easy as long as you match up the colors correctly. and this way if you do any future upgrades you can remove or add the the wall plate as needed. they make them in 1,2,4,6,8or10 hole wall plates.

It would be a good idea to have a good network router that can handle everything you hook up, and have a few open spots for future proofing.
