[mdlug] Network Cable and Tools

[Robert Adkins]

You don't have to worry to much about leaving extra length, if you run the
wiring through the walls and into wall plates.

It's significantly easier than it often appears to do this. (Especially if
you have a basement, running wires all the way up to a second floor can be
difficult though...)
