Cat 6 in the market i see need very big angle of bending. It can go with 90deg too but the installer need to be aware cause once over bend the cable are worse perform than a Cat5e. What i mean over bend is like when install try to push the cable into the conduit before they may bend few round here and there and that will damage the Cat 6.

I know few professional cabler who tell they don't recycle cat 6, but Cat 5e can be recycle. What it mean if it wrongly lay they pull out the Cat 6 cable and throw away, unlike Cat 5e, it can pull out and use in shorter route.

Use good terminator for all LAN cable, be it Cat 5e or Cat 6. If can, use AMP.

Network, Infrastructure are my forte.

I will be using this brand too "1101-03003" with conduit, because my good friend who use this for many installation sell it at cost price to me. Is good if you don't use > 100M, since he say got problem he will help me to do the cabling again FOC so I take his word

I'll use this LAN cable for my CCTV, and also Network.

Why you need FTP cable? Your house got lot of EMI noise? if not, just get UTP + Conduit enough la.

No specific system, is mix and match. Mostly for bank commercial use

I put in both Coax RG-59, and LAN cable so i can switch to LAN camera or conventional camera depend what system i get.

Happy Cabling.. Take lots of practice to clamp good termination. If you install on face plate you don't need to clamp, you need to push it in. Just like how telekom terminate in junction box.

Not advice for network and cctv. If you don't notice it now, later sure have problem. Most will separate by 1 feet. I separate by about 2 feet.

Only time will tell. Use shield cable if possible.

Yes, this is correct if you don't have many connection maybe good for 2 to 4 equipments if you want to achieve high speed. Wireless and Ethernet over Power/socket work in sharing a single band. The more equipments in wireless or Power plug the slower it will get.

It's not always guaranteed that you'll have the max wireless speed, and is all depend on the strength of signal.

The more equipments / computers using the network increases, the data transfer rate to each will be reduce.

If you plan to run cctv over IP, IPTV, Wireless, surfing and sharing to many device than you need to get more AP transmitter for better stability.

To really test Cat6 and LAN cable you need a sophisticate device to test Attenuation, noise level, and cross talk. For home use, if the interface did not show any crc lost or packet lost is already ok.

Think what he mean on the 90 deg things is bending problem for cat6, which is not going to show anything problem if is running on 100Mbps. Only using test equipment can show the problem.

I suggest you buy here in Malaysia. You risk getting your equipments tax by custom, which can be anything from 10 to 30%.

I understand from the courier company, anything list as Network need AP.

My last try sending back a Router back from AU for my company, I need a bloody AP, or ask an agent / runner to do it. End up, i return the shipment to AU, send to HK. Is also MUCH Cheaper.

Cable required AP or not, i am not sure. But cable i am very very sure need tax. Because my company practice central purchase of some IT equipments. Most of the IT equipments are tax free, but sometime when they put the Power cord cable in the AWB, i get tax 30%, which is not much about few ringgit only, but is the hassle.

For your case, I suggest you add in the 30% for your budget calculation.

Maybe try visit pasar road, you get many good vendor selling reasonable price cable. If you want convenient, try Malaysia RS website, which is not very cheap but get lots of selection. http://malaysia.rs-online.com

When you use important keystone jacket / faceplate not sure you have issue to mount into Malaysia wall (not sure what you call this, the black box mount in the wall)

Simtone, or clipsal sell faceplate with RJ45 socket, if you need only few better get local.

AMP is good, and if not mistaken Made in Malaysia. Dintek i think made in China / Taiwan.

Pasar Road, near Pudu market. Is where lots of electronic shop, similar to Sim Lim Plaza (not Sim Lim Square) in Singapore.

Original Siemon so cheap meh?

Already have 12 points in my house

Think they are using single mode fiber, but type and brand i am not sure. I only lay a empty conduit straight from my rear laundry area to my server room

Yes straight and 15' conceal.

You need to check your cable tester manual.

This one is good for testing connection only. Can't test lost signal and noise. If you have all the light run in sequence then is connect correctly. For full CAT6 compliance you need difference tester.

Why you want STP? your area got electrostatic problem?

Try Jalan Pasar, but not sure they carry AMP, cause is very expensive. Maybe need back to back order.

Added on August 25, 2011, 11:57 pmThe 8 lights tester most electronic shop sell, very cheap only. Try ask the two electronic shop @ ss2, one is same row as McD, and one is behind Guardian.

If you need db noise tester maybe need to go below places.
01) Pasar road,
02) mobicon "Remote" @ old klang road http://www.mobicon.com.my
03) http://malaysia.rs-online.com/web/
