Hey everyone, my name is Uno. I've followed some discussions here and decided to sign up to give whatever input I can give and learn from more advance users. I've been in the IT industry for a couple of years. Mostly basic computer and design stuff. Currently wiring a new property with cat7, rg6, cat5e, and speaker cable. Had a couple of questions so you'll be seeing me around. Cheers
