Taperwire - Flat Network Wiring
One of the biggest headaches when wiring a home or office network is
running wires through walls, floors, and ceilings. Cutting holes and
fishing for wires through drywall is not my idea of a good time, so I
was ecstatic when Mark in tech support showed me a simple solution for
low-profile wiring with zero impact on your walls or floors. This can
also be a cost-saving solution to industrial wiring conduit. And to do
it you only need three things:
Taperwire is flat enough to run under carpet, wallpaper, and even
paint without leaving a noticeable impression on your wall or floor.
One side is a strong adhesive for tool-free installation and the other
has been surface-prepped for easy painting. One thing to remember is
that it’s also unterminated, meaning that you will have to wire the
plugs - thus the Keystone
Jack and Surface
Mount Box. If you’re a neophyte, don’t be intimidated, just google
a Cat5e termination guide, there are dozens of good ones out there.
Once you’ve got your flat
Cat5e cable laid, terminated, and housed in the surface mount box,
all that’s left is to plug in. Voila! You’ve got your very own home or
business network without all the hassle, cost, and damage of unsightly
in-wall wiring.
