The upstairs is loaded with RG6 coaxial cable for data and video. Woop. I didn't get the Category 6 wire in yet, but it will just follow the path of the cable, so that install will be pretty easy.
The only tricky thing was to make sure that the low voltage lines stay at least a foot away from the line voltage wiring and that they only cross at 90 degree angles. The line voltage wiring creates a magnetic field and can cause interference with the data, phone, and cable tv signals. Also, each individual cable receptacle has to go all the way back to the structured wire control box. I got 350' of cable and had exactly three feet left over. Perhaps cutting it too close.
