Socket outlet configuration

[jarmana100]

Hi

I'm about to commence work on wiring my house for experience and wanted to pick some brains regarding the socket outlet configuration.

I was planning on having two 20Amp radial ccts one for upstairs and one for downstairs sockets.
Then a 32Amp ring for the kitchen and another 32Amp ring for the Garage

Although the house is a reasonable sized semi detached house I probably don't need as many ccts as I've mentioned, it was just I wanted to keep the ccts divided as much as possible - and will aid in future troubleshooting.

There will be approximatly 10 downstairs sockets, 12 upstairs, 4 kitchen and 6 Garage.

If anyone has any thoughts it would be greatly appreciated.

the way i wire digital and sky so you can view it in any room you have a point is......

take a ct100 cable from a digital ariel down to your sky+ box and connect into the rf1 output.

then take another ct100 cable from the rf2 out on your sky box to a booster box, where ever you think is best to put it (loft cupboard etc)

then out from the booster in ct100 again to which ever points in the house you want, then from any room with a point you can watch sky or digital tv

one point to mention, where ever you decide to mount the booster you will need a socket, so if you plan to install the booster in the loft dont forget the socket in the loft

thats the way i allways do it hope that helps

If you want Sky+ do you not need two cables to the reciever from the quad LNB and then a 3rd CT100 as the return to the distribution amp or similar so it will pass to other TVs ????
I know guys who run a 4th CT100 also for DVD/video to other TVs. Just a thought.

Possible on 2 cables from hub to TV and 2 from dish to HUB but 3-4 are better.

It all seems to be getting overly complicated.Can all this a/v stuff not be
performed wirelessly?(might do you out of a bit of work)

Yep you can do it all wirelessly, but you can do power wirelessly!
