Thanks for the advice, guys. I didn’t want to mess with something I don’t know much about, so this is giving me some confidence.
You need to call an electrician and see if there's space in your conduits to pull a wire through.
I might just to install extra wall sockets for the hardware. Running cables is one thing, screwing around with electricity is another. I doubt he’d help me with the Ethernet cables and RJ45 connectors, though.
I just got my house constructed so I had a choice hence went with separate pipe for ethernet cables.
Boy do I have dreams for when I build a house.
After 10 years the cables become so hard that they cannot be pulled out of the conduits.
I hadn’t thought of cables hardening. We’re in a rented house, so I’ll eventually have to pull the cables out. I’ll worry about that when I get to it, but good to keep in mind. Also good to remember not to pre-install Ethernet cables while building a house, since they can become outdated like you said. Maybe better to have dedicated conduits instead.
Correct me if i am wrong, but nowadays apart from electrical stuff, we only need conduits for following when constructing new house -
I genuinely did not know about conduits until an electrician used one to install a new socket and a light bulb went off in my head. If I can get the hang of it, it opens a whole new world for me, quite literally.
I don't know if this is true everywhere else, but where I'm from, such simple jobs are likely dismissed; can't charge enough for the time it might/could take.
India. I know this is the case in the west, but I recently had a technician come to my house from over ten kilometers away in traffic just to flip an MCB. I didn’t know he lived so far away so I paid him a bit extra just out of sheer embarrassment. This should tell you that a) I know nothing about electricity and b) a lot of people in India are in such a bad state that they’ll earn every buck that they can.
