Satalite cable

[Terry7556]

Ona house rewire my mate says to run satalite cable to each room but to keep it away from other cables when running out because of interference and also building regs
Is this correct and does anyone have any general advice like minimum distances from other cables please

 

[Scoby_Beasley]

Minimum distance should be 50mm of separation.

Thank you scoby

If you are running satellite to all rooms, may as well run some ethernet with it - 2 ethernet cables can be used for HDMI distribution. Having network points around can be very handy generally as well.....

Just so you know, Cat5 is only good for HDMI up to 10 meters.

CAT5 is all but dead though? CAT5e is good for up to 30m in good conditions......

may as well put in Cat6 as 1 gigabit is fast becoming the normal for networking. Fibre broadband wont be far behind...and it would be a pain to have to do it all again.

I was tempted, but the price of quality CAT6 was so much more I couldn't justify it. That was 18 months ago though.

Put the best you can in I suppose, CAT6e even?

And CAT5e is certified for 1GB, so its going to be around for a good while yet, a lot of businesses still only run 100mb to the desktop

You can run 10Gb over Cat6a.

Ample for video signals.

Just to put things in perspective:

For users recording digital television programming, the recordable Blu-ray Disc standard's initial data rate of 36 Mbit/s is more than adequate to record high-definition broadcasts from any source (IPTV, cable/satellite, or terrestrial). BD Video movies have a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbit/s, a maximum AV bitrate of 48 Mbit/s (for both audio and video data), and a maximum video bit rate of 40 Mbit/s. This compares to HD DVD movies, which have a maximum data transfer rate of 36 Mbit/s, a maximum AV bitrate of 30.24 Mbit/s, and a maximum video bitrate of 29.4 Mbit/s.

What sort of kit / set up is needed to stream HD over Cat 6?
Are we talking servers into the tens of thousands or is there more affordable stuff on the market now?

One pair of these:- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Neet®-Exten...YEYA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362518224&sr=8-1

They are very affordable, and also work over CAT5e, however shielded cables are recommended.

I got myself a pair of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cable-Matters-Extender-Single-1080p/dp/B007K7P6GO which allow HDMI over single CAT5. Slightly more expensive but work brilliantly.
