Wired home network setup

[Adrian M]

Hello all,

I'm renovating my apartment and I'm planning to equip each room with wired Internet and coaxial TV cables. The aim is to have all cables invisible, running inside tubes buried in brick walls, with Internet and TV Cable wall sockets in each room.

I have created a Visio diagram, hopefully it's easy to understand it:

Basically, it will take 5 connected cables from the front door to each computer:
Cable comes in the house -> Wall Socket -> Cable running through brick wall -> Wall Socket -> Cable -> Router/Splitter -> Cable -> Wall Socket -> Cable running through brick wall -> Wall Socket -> Cable -> Computer/TV

Will this work? Do so many connected cables affect the signal?

Another questions, here is the 4-Way Wall Socket I'm planning to use:

Does it matter if the wall socket is shielded or not?

Thank you!

You should be able to pull it though the conduit but a electrician may be talking about rigid conduit which is basically metal pipe that is connected together with actual 90 degree connectors. You pull electrical wire from connector to connector mostly because electrical wire is so stiff.

If you use flexible tubing type of conduit it should pull pretty easy. The diameter of the counduit and its bend radius is much larger that the ethernet cable. Even if you use 1/2 inch conduit as long as you do not try to pull 3 or 4 ethernet though it at the same time it should be go simple. We pull fiber cable though conduit all the time and fiber is extremely fragile, 10 meters you could almost use a shop vac and suck ethernet cable. I just puller 2 ethernet cable though 70 feet of 1/2 underground conduit and it had a number of bends going to buildings on each end. It pulled so easy I though the string came off the cable

The only way would be to have access panels in the walls at all of the bends.

In a typical home wiring installation you run it straight up to the attic (or down to crawlspace) and then from attic you can pull the cable at each point.

If you spanning across a multi-story environment then the only to do it is like I said to have access panels in the wall/ceiling that then allowed you to access each bend of the conduit, and the conduit has to have ends like this instead of a simple 90 degree:

ADDED: and the access panel has to be large enough to get a screwdriver in to remove the cover, so a single receptacle gang wont cut it.
