Hi All,
I have recently completed an extension to my house and as part of that I ran CAT6 and Coaxial (the Virgin media quad cable) to each room going back to under my stairs.
The plan was to have everything terminate under the stairs and maybe distribute different things to each of the rooms or even different things to the same room (most rooms had 2 Ethernet and 2 coax minimum)
I now have a huge amount of cables to deal with, which is fine but I'm now starting to wonder what the best way of going about it is.
Ideally I would like to supply each room with a coax passing the Virgin media signal to then connect a box in the room as and when needed.
I would also like to pass DAB and TV Aerial signal to the rooms (either the same cable or different if possible.)
Ideally the Virgin cable would also run Sky if I changed provider. (If I did have sky I may want to have the Sky box under the stairs with the magic eye set up in each room)
I would also potentially like to push CCTV signal from the main Hikvision box (will probably be under the stairs) to each room
Given all of the above I started googling and now I have come across this:
Labgear LDU608G/S 4G Home Distribution Unit 8-Way
Would that work? Would it be the best option? (I know I can get this cheaper but just using it as an easy link)
Will it provide the power needed to send good quality signals around the house?
Should I send CCTV down one of the Coax and Virgin down another meaning one cable in each room does a different thing?
Any better/other options or solutions?
For the ethernet I have a Cisco switch which I was planning on passing from the Router to the input of the switch and then having everything else run from the switch.
Thanks in advance for your help.
