I'm gonna go about 45 degrees off topic here. If possible, run your wire
inside conduit (as above). I know it's a pain sometimes, but in the long
run it's worth it. <HOUSE WIRING> There is a tendency in new construction
to use something call "Romex" which is just three wires inside a plastic
sheath. The problem with this is that if you ever have to change any of
the wiring in your house, you have to open the walls to do it, because the
romex is tacked to the studs. Use conduit and you can pull and repull
wires to your heart's content. </HOUSE WIRING> This is also true of low
voltage (network) wiring. Again, only if you want to go through the
trouble.
