Hello everyone,
as already "outed" in another thread, the internet connection in our house is relatively primitive, using Wi-Fi and repeaters. Now I have the following thought:
In the next few days, work will begin on the facade. It will get a new plaster. This would now be the opportunity to lay additional cables on the exterior wall. The plan is to install cables for additional lighting on the facade and at least 2 cables (3 x 2.5 mm2) for infrared heaters, which might be mounted under a terrace roof at some point. For this, corresponding grooves will be made in the existing facade, which will then be replastered.
Now the question: is it possible to lay Cat cables on the facade to provide internet to all floors from the cable? We would then drill a hole in the exterior wall where the "router" is located in the living room and run the cables over the facade into the respective rooms. I think some consideration regarding moisture is necessary? What kind of cables would be needed? Cat 5 should definitely be sufficient (?). How is it with possible moisture? Going over the exterior wall is, of course, not the most elegant solution, but certainly the easiest way.
Thank you :)
