    Home network question

    Okay so i am in the process of remodeling and i have ran 21 drops of cat5 along with 2 in ceiling for two AP's. My question here is basically where is the best place to get the modular connectors to terminate the ends and wallplates. i work at lowes and we have single gang stuff but i have more then single gang requirements. I couldve ran them to a single gang box but really thought it would look weird with 4 lan ports a cable port and a telephone jack on a single gang plate. So far i have found MIDI inserts that fulfil the requirements that i need but i cant find modular plugs for less then $3 a piece cost (3.30ea my price). Anyone know a good site?

    Cat6 Shielded Stranded modular connectors (the best kind IMO), 100 for $11. One of the most expensive connectors there.

    actually i think i asked for the wrong thing... i think i meant to ask for keystones (these seem to be the right term upon further research). a link to what i am wanting is here only not yellow. i would also like to find the ones with the dust shields if they arent an arm and a leg.

    Just for good measure and to get a little insight from fellow Xtremists heres what i plan on putting in my house and i would like to state that my main goal is connectivity, not necessarilly speed as i mainly use my TV for netflix and to get internet speeds that give HD netflix i would have to pay more per month to an ISP then i pay to the bank for my house.

    AP's: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833156275

    planning on putting the AP's on sperate sides of the house (1400SF) house dimensions are probably close to 30x50 (i know thats 1500 but its not exactally a square) AP's are located on seperate sides of the house but on interior walls to give good coverage to my living room/kitchen.

    Beat me to it, I was going to say you can get Keystone's at monoprice.com as well. I order everything from them. While you can always get that stuff at HomeDepot or Lowe's I will only do it in a pinch, otherwise monoprice.com all the way!
