I am going to be opening up some walls for another reason, and I would like to run some wire for future IP camera use. What type of ethernet cable should I be looking for? Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6? Is a special grade of cable required for PoE? Also is UTP or STP better?
My plan is to run one ethernet wire from my main switch to a location in the garage, where the PoE switch will be located. The cameras will be wired to that PoE switch. Is this an acceptable way to wire it? Also, if I wanted cameras in another area of the house, could I use a second PoE switch there?
Thanks for the help.
