How many eXapath cable conduit systems do I need in my home?

It really depends on the desires of the homeowner but the following may be helpful.

The eXapath system is not just for home theater or data networking.  It is ideal for any low voltage cable application including home theater, data networking, whole-house audio, home automation, security, CATV/CCTV and future applications such as LED lighting and networked digital art.  Therefore it's wise to plan for these, whether you need them today or plan for them in the future.

The following are several rules of thumb to help.  These are rough approximations.  The specific needs of each individual home will dictate final requirements.

A.  Plan to install an eXapath cable conduit system (pathway, mounting bracket with pipe, mounting bracket with socket, optional outlet, nail plate) behind the drywall in every third or fourth stud cavity.  This will ensure excellent accessibility and limit the length of any appliance connecting cords. (Keep in mind that each contractor kit contains enough material for approximately five eXapath cable conduit systems)

B.  For a typical home, multiply the square footage of the home by 0.012 to arrive at the number of eXapath cable pathway systems recommended. e.g., a 3,000 square foot home:  3,000 x 0.012 = 36 eXapath cable pathway systems. (Keep in mind that each contractor kit contains enough material for approximately five eXapath cable conduit systems.  In the example above 8 contractor kits would work well)
