Thanks for the link, that was very timely.

I am days away from closing on a second house, where my existing bedroom
shop will migrate to.
I've always greatly preferred homerunning everything, even back in my
alarm days, in the late 70's.
Much easier to debug, much fewer problems.

I will need to do phones, cable, cat5, and some misc control signals.
I have a wiring panel coming, and a bunch of 66 blocks

Brings back the good old days. Some of my resedential alarms filled a 4x8
sheet on the wall, and had dedicated rooms. Doubly or triply redundant
systems, with multiple sensing technologies, supervised wiring, phone and
wireless reporting. Those were the days.

Dave,

Here are some photos of a local install (not mine) for TC and phone ( 10
years old now)

I was not a fan of placing this block on a joist (who wants to look up all
day)
