Wiring CAT6 in house

[Jakg]

Looking to wire up some of my house with ethernet - not every room, just from one room to one or two others.

I've been doing some research and I'm thinking of going for CAT6 over CAT5e because it's barely any more difficult to install, might be more future proof, and barely any more expensive.

I don't think I need shielded because it's more of a pain to terminate, more expensive and unnecessary in a regular home environment.

The plan is a few runs from room to room with a faceplate on the wall in each, going "somewhere" to connect to a switch.

The problem is I've no idea where to get the cable from, what faceplate or tools I need!

So - cable. I'm thinking this - http://www.kenable.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=22... ?

Tools - probably need a krone or punch tool?

Recommendations please...

No, I don't want powerline / WiFi

I can't recall where we bought our cable from but it was in 300m reels, just make sure you buy it from a reputable supplier as there is some cheap crap floating around.

D'oh - I forgot to mention that non-CCA cable is a requirement.

The "reputable supplier" bit is what I'm struggling with currently.
