> In my network, unless something has to be wireless, I run a cable :-)
i would argue that being seemingly extreme here is worthwhile. If possible, run it inside rigid conduit. Some more cost now, but conduit makes it a much more maintainable system. Solid yet upgradable digital infrastructure, for the home or small office.
I once did this for a small office space which I had the freedom and budget to do as I wished. After that, everything was rock solid for years. Floods, critters, insane humidity... survived it all. If somehow a cable went bad, it could be used to pull through its replacement.
If in 10-20 years fiber became the new LAN cable, then just pull it through yourself without an electrician. If you need to hire an electrician who has the clbest tools for termination, their billable hours will be much lower.
Rigid conduit every room, maybe even two walls per room since you are already paying a pro to be under/over there already.
If it's a retrofit then maybe it's too late, but a renovation or new build... I would always spend that extra money if at all possible.
