paladin126 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2012 Hi,I am thinking of installing CAT 6 LAN points. Can I find out how much are the cables?If your electrician supplied you the cables, how much did he charges you for the cables (and the length) and how much are the installation costs?I wish to get a ballpark for consideration. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
