- I'd recommend that you get a copy of David Gaddis' book on Home Automation. You
- can order it from Home Automation Labs (1-800-HOMELAB). This books goes into
- a considerable amount of detail concerning prewiring for phones, data, audio,
- video, etc.
-
- As far as a source for the cabling, etc., I recommend Interconnect Products
- at 1-800-832-2664. Talk to Rene Brown.
-
- I have no connection with either of these companies except as a satisfied
- customer.
