[ale] Future-proofing a house for networking -- what to run?

[Jim Kinney]

10G multimode with lc connectors.

Unless you _really_ are forward looking and install 100G.

Otherwise install conduit and spare pull strings. That really future-proofs an install. 

I would plan for a 1" conduit with a single cat6, one rg6, one low voltage line (music) and a pull string. 

Spend money on a distribution center that all these lines start from. Good 10G switch, powered cable splitter, good remote adjustable amp for music control.
