    pre wiring

    I am helping a friend pre-wire and was curious about the 12 volt trigger and IR setup. It sounds like I can run a cat5 for the IR, but I see different systems have different 12 volt input/outputs. Is there a single wire I can use that I can adapt later for the 12 volt? For instance, using the second zone off of a reciever, I would want a 12v for remote. Not sure what system he will be using. RG59 is fine for RCA for the second zone, correct?

      I'd think cat5 would work fine for 12V trigger as well.

      And yes, RG-59 is fine for audio signals.
      There are some things which are impossible to know, but it is impossible to know which things these are. :scratchhead:

          Speaker wire would work as well. As long as you are only planing on hooking up a 1/8 inch tip and ring connector to it. You will only need 2 conductors.

          RG59 is fine. You can use that for your component video as well. Just pull 3 runs if you want from the AV rack to the TV.

          ALWAYS pull extra cable! NEVER NEVER wire just the basic. Pull CAT5e and RG6 pull an extra line for each if you can. You will be suprised at how that can save your butt after it is all sheet rocked!

          PS: Stay away from 120VAC!

              A/V over Cat5
              by ekkoville
              I have seen options of running A/V over Cat5 wire to some remote locations in the house and wonder if anyone has had experience with that or has an opinion on it. It seems some shielding could be lacking with the wire, but for long runs through conduit it is lot easier. There are many whole house options...

              Using 12 volt trigger
              by BeeBop
              I have an external amp I would like to use with my RX1050 stereo receiver - using the RX1050 as a pre-amp. I am using the pre-out to connect it to the amp and it is working well. However I cannot get the 12 volt trigger to work. Does anyone know what sort of plug the 12 volt trigger out requires? My...

              RSP-1068 12 volt trigger confusion
              by BillGee
              I picked up my brand new RSP-1068 Saturday, replacing an old RTC-970. In the process of hooking everything up, i discovered there are no power outlets on the back of the 1068, so I had no way to trigger my RLC-900 to turn on/off. A quick trip to Radio Shack and 15 minutes with a soldering iron got...

              Wall Plate - HDMI/CAT5/Power
              by Nolan B
              Can anyone suggest a wall plate that has power, HDMI and CAT5? Id like to have one installed behind a plasma im installing. If there isnt one which has all 3, perhaps 2 separate ones? Not sure how it would normally be done.

              Thanks

              Hi all,

              Just got a query, i have a Rotel RSP-1066 and i am currently using its 2 12volt triggers for 2 power amps and i just got a third power amp. I was just wondering if i can use a 3.5mm splitter to have 2 3.5mm cables coming out of one 12 volt trigger so i can have all 3 power amps...
