Rule of thumbRecommended
Data conduit to TV / office locations
DATA-CONDUIT-TV-AREASDescription
Run empty conduit (1/2" smurf tube) from a central network closet to TV walls and home-office locations. Lets future cabling change without drywall demolition.
Why this exists
Wireless covers most cases; some cases (4K streaming, security cameras, gigabit Ethernet for video editing) still want wired. Conduit is cheap; rewiring is not.
