Getting the House wired.

[werries2]

I am busy redoing my home and thought it best to conceal all wires inside the walls.
I have need for PC network, TV, and Video/Audio in a few different rooms.
I cant find however suitable wall plugs that can help on any of the above part from TV and normal Electricity. Is there any shop out there that can help on the other needs?

Another question would be "how to route TV through my PC in my room?"
I have a nice 22'' PC monitor Ideal for watching TV aswell as playing games. i have an old Thomson TV card for the PC, though I have not tried it yet on the PC. Would it be best to route the DSTV via a normal coaxial TV cable or through the video/audio cables? Best picture quality comes to mind here.

Not 100% sure what you are looking for, but I think you need Wall Plug Covers that will accommodate RJ45 Plugs, RJ11 Plugs, TV Plugs etc.
You can bypass the camera cabling like I did and take it through the holes without cutting the wires.
In my case my Camera Cabling goes straight to the processor.

See my plugs for reference.

That is about the same stuff I am looking for. Found the covers for TV and Telephone jacks but still looking for the others.

Why not just pull a few CAT5e cables into every room? You get interface converters for A/V. Actually, you get converters for just about everything. That means if you ever need to install pc's in the rooms, the cables are there and for A/V you are interface independent.

I'm pretty sure that I saw the RJ45 and RJ11 plates and plugs in Builder's Warehouse a short while back - I was looking for the TV plugs and saw the other too...

Clipsal do all of them, RJ45, RJ11 (think it is that, for your phone) and Aerial. They can get quite pricey though.

Got some of the Clipsal ones today They indeed seem to be the stuff I was looking for.


I am pulling Cat5e into all the rooms. But needed some nice looking wall plugs for them.

Those interface converters sounds interesting, would like to find out more about those and where to get them.
