Hi All,
I am getting electric pipes fitted in the grooves now , had few questions in mind

1) Should internet cable be layed in different pipe (other than electric wire pipe) - what is the technical specification - I should ask when I buy an internet cable
2) What is the best speaker wire (when I buy) - to avoid interference from electric wires that run in parallel.

Regards

#1. It is better to use different pipes for internet wiring. If there is any problem with electric wires and they got burned still the internet wiring will be saved. Also, by mistake if the internet cable is jointed or opened to the electric cable (joints) it would be dangerous.

You can go with d-link or panduit cat 5 or Cat6 cables. I think there is another variation Cat5E that is better than Cat5 and cheaper than Cat6.

You have to run two separate pipes one for electrical and another for all other cables . They have to be connected to separate modular boxes(no interlinking of them) to avoid any accidental interconnection.
