I agree that Cat6 is overkill---the questions you need to answer before you commit to the expense of Cat6 (jacks, patch panels, switches, Network Cards, i.e.) is will you be in the same location for the next 5 or more years? If yes, then spend the money.
As for the expense of Cat6 for the...
AHAAAAAA of all places to find them, I found them listed on EBAY--they are called Quick Snap connectors and they come unfilled and gel-filled

I guess maybe now I should use Ebay instead of Google.
Thanks to all
Speaking of butt splices---there is an in-line splice for a pair 18-26 awg and it is gel filled --- it is rectangular and about 1 1/2 inches long by about a half inch wide--clear blue plastic --- if you look at it sideways, it looks like a car with its hood and trunk open. (probably a pathetic...
Here is another excerpt from the TDMM page 4.3 titled "Telecommunications Outlet Box Locations"
The work area telecommunications outlet box should be located near an electrical outlet (e.g., within 1 m [3 ft]) and installed at the same height if appropriate.

If I have a C7 license--any worker under my guidance is qualified and I am responsible for them knowing what I know or...
From the BICSI TDMM page 13-9
"NOTE: The minimum height for all electrical and communications systems receptacles on
walls (e.g., outlets and jacks) must be 380 mm (15 in) above finished floor."
So if I read this right--the lowest jack on the plate must not be lower than 15 inches from the...
What do you do about the differences in height on existing plates and code requirements ---do you follow code or keep the faceplates even with existing plates?
I have had customers that move there equipment and forget about the length of the patch cords and loosened the mudring and faceplate---I hate go-backs and trying to justify who should pay.......
On the measuring side--this is a neat little product-for exact measurment to existing wall plates...
the reason I am asking is sometimes the plastic rings have enough external material exposed on the wall that when you place a faceplate on it there is a gap between wall and faceplate.
I am in California---I believe code for measuring and installing wall plates 13.5" to center from the floor. However. I have always tried to match electrical or existing faceplates already in the location. I dont think I have found more than three jobs that have had the same height.
