The contractor asked me how I want things wired and I didn't really know.

I was thinking Cat6 ethernet cable with a wall plate in each room. They would all run to the crawl space where I'd have my modem and NAS.

It's a small house. Only 5 ethernet wall plates throughout.

Is there anything I should ask for? I use Plex and IPTV.

Thanks.

Also two is smart just for redundancy. Even if you only need one, if Jimmy puts a ringshank through one cable you're still good!

You mean Jose or Jesus...I haven't seen a white dude at a residential construction site in almost a decade now (sad to say)...

Depends on your region... Lots of white and white adjacent dudes up here in WA/OR
