[mythtvnz] OT: Recommended wiring scheme and RJ-45 connectors for Lexcom (Cat7) cable

[ggibson]

Other thing to watch is min radius for bends, while not of any great
effect for Gig Ethernet, it has a big impact on trying to run 1080P60 on
HDMI eliminators on CAT6 cable.  50mm min radius is a good recommendation,
it does vary between vendors of cable.

A lot of if comes down to what you are going to run over it and in the
foreseeable future.

>> Hi all,
>>
>> I installed a bunch of Lexcom Cat7 cable into my house a while back
>> when doing some renovations and now want to connect some of it up.
>> I've decided against using Lexcom components due to price,
>> inflexibility of modules available and lack of info for DIYers. I
>> recall someone on the list a while back saying they used Lexcom cable
>> to wire an otherwise conventional structured network and just wondered
>> what the best approach is to wire the cable to Cat6A spec. What wiring
>> scheme should be used? Does the colour coding on the Lexcom wiring map
>> to wiring standards and if not what's the best mapping to use?
>> Finally, any recommendations on the type of RJ-45 plug to connect. I
>> was looking at the bog standard Cat 6 RJ-45 8P8C Modular Plug (Rounded
>> Solid) - 50 micron product from CablesDirect - will that suffice.
>>
>> The Cat7 spec says "Category 7 is terminated with RJ-45 compatible
>> GG45 connectors or TERA connectors, and it is rated for transmission
>> frequencies up to 600 MHz" but I take it lower spec connectors can be
>> used to get Cat6 results.
