I have used shielded CAT5 cables for raw (non-baluned)audio and video distribution as non-shielded yielded very noisy results. However I have yet to use shielded for voice or data (including baluned audio/video) as EMI has never posed any problems with these types of transmissions.

I figured once these runs are installed than no problems. However, there are some runs under the house and through the attic, two places which will be revisited by the electrician as well as myself when the second phase of this particular homes remodel begins. Therefor I will verify all the...

wires, thanks for the link. I was able to terminate/punchdown a few dozen runs yesterday at a 100% success rate! I am just getting into home automation myself...have been distributing audio and doing home theaters for a while now and thought automation would be a great option to add to my...

Thanks wires. I have been at it all day and have figured out how to do it with Belden's debonding tool. I tried the razor route you mentioned and could not consistently get the pairs debonded/split far enough to have enough of each indiv. wire to pull apart b/t my index fingers and thumbs...

Success! After a few more hours of practice I am able to debond and properly terminate...albeit a little slowly! I employed the pick method with much more success than the blade method.

Anyone successfully terminating these bad boys? I am having a lot of trouble successfully de-bonding the pairs using Belden's 1797B tool.

djtt, I too am running into issues separating the bonded pairs. Were you able to come up with an effective technique using Belden's debonding tool? I have been attempting to debond for a few hours now and about 85% of the time the insulation gets stripped. I have already run around 16 data...
