What is cat 5 speaker cable?
The best kept secret.

cat 5 speaker cable - Facts:

cat 5 speaker cable featuring superior insight communications cable. Simple turn-key solution. The other functioninvolves use in wall with "blown-in" type insulation. One could get far better sound, forthe same money with the "wood" enclosure free standing models. Drilling holesfor drilling holes through wall studs, use auger bits, not spade bits. I ran 22 gauge 4-pair wire for adavis weather monitor from a desk location near the kitchen to the atticspace where i can run the sensor wires to the weather mast at a laterdate.

 Extra lan wiring in the office. What is more natural in such anenglish tudor home than to run high-grade food-quality flexible plastictubing from the bar to the cool wine cellar for fresh home-brewed beerstraight from the tap?! Talk about home automation! Btw, thebasement also has a utility sink and counter near the wine cellar wherewe can brew our own beer on a hot plate. Believe it or not, the prices (in bulk, normally 500or 1000 foot spools) are fairly reasonable. Usk6xk=oxk-[ojk we have been bitten by close lightning strikes that took out one of our audioamplifiers once.

I found a surge protector(called transient voltage surge suppressor, or tvss) with the samespecifications (680 joules surge current, 50,000 amps, instantaneousresponse time) made by leviton, available from home automation systemsfor $172. Blue, orange and other colors may be used for 2nd stage heat / cool. Notonly that but if you take a direct lightning hit nothing on this earth will stopit. If you ever seethe leds out, you should be very happy you installed it, as it probably savedyou more than it cost.

I brought each cable to one sideor the other of the block, and terminated each of the eight wiresper cable to the outside post of a connector pair. Comas with any "standard" the first rule is not everyone follows the standard:-)It is important to identify the function of each wire by the schematic or firsthand knowledge of the unit or thermostat. The rumorgoes on to state that mr. A more complex one might provide one lan and two or threephone lines, etc.

Tape together as many cables aspractical (for example, a full package of the two coax, phone, and landestined for one room's tv outlet, or several speaker cables with keypad/irwires going to a group of bedrooms through the same chase). So if theyare using it, it is probably ok. Another option for more versatile and condensed installations is a wall platesystem from leviton that allows mix-and-match of up to four jacks in asingle-gang box.
